“Travel to Achilles Island, hanging in the dark waters of the Atlantic off Mayo’s northwest and windswept coast. Travel to the foot of Slievemore Hill, where you’ll find a deserted village.
This abandoned settlement stands as a relic, a scar and a monument; One of many scattered across the region and country. Each site is a vivid reminder of a time in Ireland when famine and social and political pressures made survival very difficult for many and impossible for some.
Elsewhere in Mayo, potato ridges abound on hillsides in now uninhabited areas. These areas were once so densely populated that due to lack of space, settlers began cultivating their crops at inconvenient heights.
Meet Northern Ireland’s Secret Artists
When you stand in these powerful landscapes now, they seem somehow haunting. Indeed, our ancestors often held “alive wakes” with their loved ones before going to the docks; Because they know they can never come back.
In mid-June this year, the Central Statistics Office announced that five million people live in the Republic of Ireland. However, records show that between nine and ten million Irish-born immigrated from the 18th century onwards. Many members of my generation chose to move abroad because the fallout from the 2010 global financial crisis in 2008 sent shock waves through Irish society.
Contemporary discourse on migration, immigration and resettlement focuses heavily on countries of origin. It shifts our perspective away from the reality we can leave behind. Yes, those arriving in a new country are often fleeing dire conditions such as war, famine, and oppression. However, like our runaway ancestors, they leave behind loved ones, family, friends, communities, favorite foods, old stories, familiar names, well-loved songs, childhood bedrooms, streets, homes and empty nests.

“Since February 24, the eyes of the whole world have been focused on Ukraine, which was brutally attacked by Russia on that date. In early May, the UN Refugee Agency reported that more than 6 million Ukrainian citizens had fled their homeland to other countries. , trying to escape the war.
World History Colonial History; And it is a phenomenon that affects each and every one of us in almost every corner of the earth. People migrate for many reasons, some seek peace and security and others to earn more money and lead a better life.
Brian Maguire, Remains
Often, individuals and families are forced to move due to political and economic pressures and instability, and unfortunately, as we often see today, climate degradation.
Others go because they are searching for themselves and their place on this earth.
Migration is not an exclusively human phenomenon, as it occurs throughout nature in the plant and animal kingdoms. Some birds can fly tens of thousands of kilometers at a time, and a single dandelion seed can be carried by the wind for several kilometers! It’s all about survival, exploration and a better life.
Bright Spark’s Brush With Art Lives On
The topic of migration is as broad as it is interesting, and it affects every organism; It certainly encourages timely research and reflection.
Collage is a process of fragmentation and recombination, fragments separated from the original images, finding their way from different places to create new and beautiful ones. In this way, collage is an appropriate technique and perfect metaphor for the experience of migration.
By thinking this way, we understand that through migration processes, our nations and communities are constantly evolving. Experience the collages.
New Review Of Isabel Nolan’s Exhibition
If we dare to look deep enough, we realize that we are a collage of individual experiences. Geographically or in our imaginations – for us who live with immigrants and for immigrants. We are facing new problems and new challenges. We learn, we grow, we ask questions. “What does it mean to be at home?”, “What does it mean to be a stranger?”, What does the word “motherland” mean?”.
Random elements appear in our lives from which we create meanings. As in collage. And from here it is only a step to the migration that each of us will eventually make. Internal migration. It is a unique, highly personal journey.
As part of this project, we invited an artist from Ukraine (Kyiv College collective member Yulia Fareniuk) a war refugee to come to Birra during the festival and she will hold workshops with the townspeople. And shared the experience of creating a collage mural with them somewhere in the atmosphere of the city.”

“Though we do not yet fully believe, the inner life is the real life, and the invisible dreams of men have a tangible influence on the world.” – James Baldwin
The Arts And Crafts Movement: Making It Irish’ Review
To dream is to initiate a pervasive and spiritual human experience. Each of us engages in nocturnal expeditions into the vast wilds of our inner space, nocturnal journeys through the hinterlands of the unconscious self. Encountering this new space often leads to inspiring ideas, creative insights, and integrative experiences that contain deeper intelligences unknown in our waking lives. Recent sleep research also suggests dreams are integral to the mind’s ability to process and heal from traumatic events.
Dreaming is synonymous with the ability to see beyond the individual and collective and envision a new and better future. Indeed, the simple statement “I have a dream…” recalls the powerful words of Martin Luther King Jr. on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, whose speech was an act of collective dreaming that opened up new avenues of discourse and possibilities for living. Even listening to the history of Birra, there are many testimonies of the city as a place of strong collective dreams. For example, the famous Parsonstown Leviathan; A literal device designed to stay out of our world, and
