Stories from the Blackwater Catchment is A Creative Communities project in Fermoy which brings together Elders for Cluain Dara day care centre and young people from the neighbouring school, Coláiste an Chraoibhín. Participants have been sharing stories and questions about the river Blackwater and what it means to live within its catchment. Artist Julie Forrester has been working with the groups since Autumn 2024, stirring up river relations, co-creating and collecting imagery that has been conjured up by this engagement, and is bringing this collection to Fermoy library for the Bealtaine, the festival which celebrates creativity as we age throughout the month of May.
Visitors are invited to come see and hear and contribute to this collection. Members of Cluain Dara and Colaiste an Chraoibhín will be dropping by to share their stories and thoughts about the project. The exhibition will run throughout the month of May and Julie Forrester will be hosting free creative drop-in sessions in the library on Thursday mornings of the 8th 15th, 22nd and 29th May, between 10 am and 1pm. All are welcome.
