Photography, Memory & Resonance is an expanding exhibition of text/photography that explores questions around the presence and healing of transgenerational trauma in contemporary societies. Also in connection with the Great Irish Famine that played such a large part in Skibbereen and is excellently documented by the Skibbereen Heritage Centre (https://skibbheritage.com/).
The opening takes place on Saturday 16th at 49, North Street in Skibbereen. Following a conversation around collective trauma, featuring Pat Bracken (critical psychiatrist), Tomasz Madajczak (photographer), and Moze Jacobs (writer) there will be a Q&A, a poetry reading by Ruth Hogger and Reddy O' Regan, and a concert of music/poetry by Thaddeus O'Buachalla, the award-winning author/musician, who will sing in Irish and talk in English and accompany himself on guitar and oud.
On Friday, August 22nd (11am), members of the public are invited to join a guided tour at the Skibbereen Heritage Centre, followed by a photography exercise on location (bring a phone) under the guidance of Tomasz Madajczak.
On Saturday, August 23rd at 2pm in 49 North Street, there will be a creative writing workshop with Moze Jacobs with the goal to co-create a collective poem.
The above activities are supported by the County Cork Heritage Grant Scheme (2025).
