Collecting and Connecting Stories with the Cork Folklore Project
An engaging event celebrating the Cork Listeners Collective, a community-driven initiative by the Cork Folklore Project that includes the Cultural Companions Everyday Histories programme.
This project collects, through the mobilisation of trained volunteer collectors, preserves, and shares the rich tapestry of everyday stories from across Cork. At this event, you will ll hear a selection of audio samples from CFP recordings, bringing to life the memories, experiences, and reflections of local people.
Come along to listen, reflect, and connect with others as we explore these stories and discuss how the the Cork Listeners Collective is helping to record the living history of Cork’s communities for the future.
The Cork Folklore Project (CFP) sound archive is a collection of recorded interviews about life in Cork both past and present. Our goal is to preserve your memories and stories, expressed in your words, and spoken in your voice, in our archive. We record and preserve this material so that community members and researchers are able to access the rich culture and history of the people of Cork, now and for years to come.
