Summary
I léarscáileanna d’áiteanna a raibh agus a d'fhéadfadh a bheith i gConamara, pléitear na ceisteanna, nuair a chuirtear as áit arís muid, cá rachaidh muid agus céard a thabharfaidh muid linn ón tseanbhaile?
An artistic remapping of parts of Conamara past and future. When we have to move again, where will we go and what will we bring of where we left?
About
Nuair a chuirtí muintir Chonamara as seilbh fadó, ba mhinic dóibh a bheith fágtha gan tada ach ainm an tseanbhaile le baile nua a thógáil. Tá na bailte sin agus a leathchúplaí caillte fós le feiceáil ar léarscáileanna áirithe. Am éigin amach anseo agus an éigeandáil aeráide ag dul in olcas, beidh daoine easáitithe arís. I sraith léarscáileanna d’áiteanna a raibh agus a d'fhéadfadh a bheith i gConamara, cuireann EasÁITithe (displaced) na ceisteanna, cá rachaidh muid agus céard a thabharfaidh muid linn ón tseanbhaile?
During colonialism, evictions forced entire Conamara settlements to move, bringing their place-name and anything else they could with them. Sometimes the name remained in both locations, one mirroring what was lost in the other. When we have to move again, where will we go and what will we bring of where we left? EasÁITithe (displaced) is an artistic remapping of parts of Conamara past and future. As the climate crisis redraws the globe, what impact do we have on how it shapes this place?
