Stemming from time spent working on a lighthouse in Norway, The Lighthouse Journal explores the past, present and future of Litløy Fyr, a small island located six miles from the Norwegian coast and one hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle. This work is a celebration of a remote environment, as well as an ode to the comradery of manual labour as the poems document the restoration of a lighthouse that was built in 1912.

Working with the Swedish app developer and game-maker, Malte Olsson, The Lighthouse Journal has been adapted into an interactive book, featuring maps, photographs and videos, as well as narrated poems and original music. Donal Gallagher of Asylum Productions narrates the video and app.

The Lighthouse Journal has received a number of awards, including a Van Cleef & Arpels Special Fellowship in Poetry from the Bogliasco Foundation and the Yeovil Prize for Poetry. Selections from the collection have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize (US) and a Best of the Net Award (US). The work has also been translated into Norwegian and published in Norway’s oldest literary journal, Vinduet. Laurence O’Dwyer is currently working on his third collection of poetry, The Lofoten Journal.

This first episode focuses on our reopening exhibition, Protectorate by Photographer Denis Mortell.

Using the phenomenon of Brexit as a starting point, the exhibition considers themes such as Britishness, cultural difference, and social and political history. It looks at how myth and myth making, memory and place form part of national identity and community.
While some images reflect on borders, borderlands and territory; a puritan approach to food and the ironies of daily life are also commented on. The viewer is asked to consider what is really being protected and why. How much is real, how much is myth?

In this episode i caught up with Denis during the installation of protectorate, and also managed to have a chat with curator and art historian Catherine Marshall

As it has not been possible to have a public opening, we have released a short film on our youtube channel featuring some of Denis work and hearing the man himself explain his motivations and creative process. (link below)

Photographer Denis Mortell and Curator Catherine Marshall take a tour through the gallery and discuss the images that make up Denis' exhibition 'Protectorate' - this guide is available to visitors to South Tipp Arts Centre as a QR code that can be accessed with a mobile device in the gallery, and provides an insight into the artists motivations and inspirations for this body of work.
The exhibition runs from July 30th to August 22nd, 2020.

This first episode focuses on our reopening exhibition, Protectorate by Photographer Denis Mortell.

Using the phenomenon of Brexit as a starting point, the exhibition considers themes such as Britishness, cultural difference, and social and political history. It looks at how myth and myth making, memory and place form part of national identity and community.
While some images reflect on borders, borderlands and territory; a puritan approach to food and the ironies of daily life are also commented on. The viewer is asked to consider what is really being protected and why. How much is real, how much is myth?

From blackwatervalleymakers.com :
'Lucy Phelan tells stories and explores the interaction between people and their world through large scale installations and art interventions. Familiar fables, legends, animals and gods are used in the work as iconic visual signposts toward a readable narrative.

Each theme or story is developed and explored over time, often starting with a single drawing or print. The piece mutates and evolves into a multi-faceted installation or intervention as the storyis retold and the characters developed.

The time span involved in the making is important to the work. Themes are revisited and changed. The act of making is a basic human experience. Lucy Phelan holds a BA (Hons) Fine Art Printmaking CCAD. Her most recent project explores the visibility of women artists within the traditional gallery system. ‘Women in Art’ stages interventions in major art galleries throughout Europe.'

In this episode, I was delighted to talk to John about his Exhibition "2 Faces of the Same Coin", which brings together some of the student work from his time in the Aislinn centre, as well as some new work of his own. The exhibition gives an insight into the world of art as a tool for recovery, and displays John's dedication and emotional investment in the young people he taught. It runs until mid-December.

This Saturday, 23rd November will see the official launch of '2 Sides of the Same Coin' at South Tipperary Arts Centre and John will be on the premises all day to meet and greet visitors, and would love to invite everyone, especially anyone connected to Aislinn to attend.

Merry-Go-Round public performance

2pm - 4pm
Free admission

Written and directed by:
Catherine McVicker

Cast:
Luna Kalo
Helena White
Fiona Kelly
Ciara Morrin

Sound director:

Set Design:
Ali Dietrich

Merry-Go-Round explores a young woman’s journey as she tries to deal with the sudden death of her father. Trying to keep everything together on the outside, she begins to feel overwhelmed. She struggles to attend her training course. The roof over her head is at risk and financial disaster exacerbates everything.

This play was written by Catherine McVicker as part of the ‘Rehearsing Change’ project, funded by Creative Ireland.

About Forum Theatre:
Forum Theatre is a style of theatre created by the innovative and influential practitioner Augusto Boal, one of the techniques
under the umbrella term of Theatre of the Oppressed (TO). This relates to the engagement of spectators influencing and engaging with the performance as both spectators and actors, termed ‘spect-actors’, with the power to stop and change the performance. As part of TO, the issues dealt with are often related to areas of social justice aiming to explore potential solutions to oppression featured in the performance.

As Forum Theatre is participatory, it is essential the performance a) honestly explores obstacles and b) creates a ripple of frustration regarding the protagonist’s decision making encouraging the audience or spect-actors to engage with the story and suggest/try other possible choices. The acknowledgment of choice as a component for personal or group development is an empowering tool in the overall process, as is discussion regarding systemic constraints during times of adversity.

Michael F Kennedy is a man with an extraordinary story, one that saw him go from enduring his young life in an industrial school from the age of 2 to the theatres and opera houses of Europe. The early part of this journey is captured soulfully in "990", which tells the story of Michael's early years spent in the cold surroundings of Ferryhouse, and is the first in a series of autobiographical novels.

In this episode, Michael and I chat about "990" (his conviction order number at the age of 2), and about what kept him going, discovering that he had a family, having believed he was alone in the world, and his philosophy for living, amongst other things, (with a nod to Epictetus). "990" will be launched on Thursday 14th November at 7 pm at South Tipperary Arts Centre, and all are welcome to attend.

Anú Pictures is an independent film production company established by New York and Ireland based filmmaker Dónal Ó Céilleachair to synthesize over 25 years of experience across the independent film landscape.

Projects by Anú Pictures represent a fusion of long-established cinema methodologies with the latest in digital technologies, embracing new narrative possibilities and ever-evolving strategies for distribution.

The Camino Voyage is the story of an epic 2,500 km modern-day Celtic odyssey, The Camino Voyage/Iomramh an Chamino is directed by Dónal Ó Céilleachair.

It features Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich, Glen Hansard, Liam Holden, Brendan-Pháid Ó Muircheartaigh and Writer and Poet; Domhnall Mac Síthigh (1951-2017).

For hundreds of years, people sailed from Ireland to A Coruña in Northern Spain and walked the Camino to Santiago de Compostela from there. This inspiring crew have done their own version of this historical voyage in a Naomhóg (a traditional West Kerry curragh).

Every community that they have connected with en route opened their doors – and their hearts – to this crew, and the men have in exchange, inspired them with their courage, endurance, storytelling, music, poetry and song in a coming together of people in the most fundamental and ancient of ways.

This intimate documentary charts the trials and tribulations of a voyage that in the words of Domhnall Mac Síthigh, took “sweat, blood, and blisters to complete while deepening and renewing friendships, creativity, and spirituality in the process”.

"Ain't I A Woman"
“Ain’t I a Woman?” is the name given to a speech, delivered extemporaneously, by Sojourner Truth, a woman born into slavery in New York State. Sometime after gaining her freedom in 1827, she became a well known anti-slavery speaker. Her speech was delivered at the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio, on May 29, 1851. Within the exhibition space of South Tipperary Arts Centre, 7 Tipperary-based female artists will respond to Sojourner Truth’s original 1851 speech exploring womanhood in all its glorious complexity, from fragility and despair to empowerment and outspokenness.

Written and performed by Eve O'Mahony, "Brigid Cleary" tells the story of the infamous witch-burning during the turn of the 20th Century.
The one-woman show describes the life and events which led to the death of Brigid Cleary, the last woman to be burned in Ireland. She is accused of being a changeling and is ultimately burned to death at the hands of her husband in Tipperary in 1895. The character of Brigid is the main narrator throughout the performance but her story is also told by a host of other characters. She tells the bittersweet story of her life as a successful businesswoman living in a patriarchal society and the details which lead to her tragic death.

This moving play brings forth a whole slew of issues - issues of inequality, tradition and superstition, progression and ignorance, group mentality and individual steadfastness, independence and interdependence and the role of women in early 20th century rural Irish
society.
