PICS FROM IMRAM EXHIBITION

A few pics from the very enjoyable launch at DIT of the Imram exhibition on Monday night. There was wine, brownies and scones. Yum! Lots of people and a great atmosphere. Big thanks to all at DIT, especially the students and also to Liam Carson of Imram. Go raibh maith agaibh! I am up to my eyes with preps for my USA trip (yes, another one) so I apologise for not posting pics of the other's pieces, only my own. My time is short and I am pulled every which way with work and other obligations.

The students were given poems by several poets, to create posters from, including my poem 'Snáth' from Tatú. The posters are on billboards around Dublin. I loved what the students did with all our poems but I have a special fondness for Maija Sardiko's ropey interpretation of 'Snáth'.

CLÓ DRAIOCHTA

In collaboration with IMRAM, Dublin Institute of Technology lecturers Clare Bell and Brenda Dermody have curated a second special exhibition of Irish language literature texts imaginatively rendered by DIT design students. Poetry selected for the exhibition includes work by Gabriel Rosenstock, Liam Ó Muirthile, Nuala Ní Chonchuir, Ceaití Ní Bheildiúin, Philip Cummings and Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh. IMRAM has booked 30 city centre poster sites to display the best of the students’ work, ensuring that Irish language literature will have a presence in Dublin city centre during the festival.
