Bealtaine Festival Talk with artist Deirdre Frost and members of CCP

Come along to the Atrium in Cork City Hall on Thursday 11 May for a public talk that explores the project Memory of Place with artist Deirdre Frost and members of Cork City Partnership Knocknaheeny. Free Event



In Spring 2022, The Glucksman partnered with CCP, Knocknaheeny to invite older members of the community to take part in a creative project with artist Deirdre Frost. The project was designed to facilitate the artist to create new artworks in response to the ideas, stories and memories of the community.

Together, artist and community explored their relationship to Cork city, and the changes that have occurred during their lifetime with a particular focus on the built environment. Through a series of creative consultations both at the Glucksman and in the community, the group shared stories, photographs and artifacts with the artist. The sessions also included talks, tours, and creative activities with curators and academics where participants learned about the history, architecture and art of the city.

This public talk will explore the journey that artist and community went on together and will look in detail at Deirdre Frost’s Memory of Place paintings.

Deirdre Frost’s Memory of Place paintings are on display in the Atrium, City Hall from 28 April to 14 May as part of the Bealtaine Festival.
