Ceardlann: Cé dó é?
Ocáid: Ceardlann sna hEalaín Pobal Bhunaithe le ealaínteoir Kate O Shea
Ionad: Ionad na Dromada, An Cillín Liath, Uíbh Ráthach V23 RK10
Dáta: Déardaoin 15ú Feabhra, 2024
Am: 10am – 1in
Beidh machnamh agus malartú smaointe i gceist sa cheardlann seo maidir le tograí ealaíne pobal-bhunaithe a chruthú; tograí atá préamhaithe i gceantar aitiúila, ina mbíonn an próiséis chun tosaigh, agus atá dírithe ar athrú shoisialta de shaghas éigin a bhaint amach. Is ealaínteoir í Kate O Shea a bhfuil cleachtas láidir aici sna healaín pobal bhunaithe. Úsáideann sí módhanna oibre lena náirítear priontáil, clódóireacht, spásanna shoisialta a chruthú, agus imeachtaí móra poiblí ina mbíonn bia, comhrá agus taibhléiriú ag feidhmniú mar úrlisí cothaithe pobail. Is í Kate a stiúrfaidh an cheardlann leathlae seo do ealaíontóirí as Uíbh Ráthach (agus níos faide i gcéin) ar spéis leo léargas a fháil ar a próiséis ealaíne siúd, conas mar a thugann sí an pobal léi, agus a chothaionn si rannpháirtíocht ón chéad smaoineamh tríd an próiséis forbartha ag dtí bárr scríbe.
Ceardlann saor in aisce, ach ní foláir áirithintí a dhéanamh ag ealain@comhchoiste.ie.
