The culmination of a collaborative research process and artistic inquiry, the Apple Treasures Trail will presence Clonmel s unique heritage and historical links to apple growing and cider-making. The trail and exhibition are bringing apples centre-stage back into the heart of Clonmel, in the proximity of the original Bulmers apple crushing plant of Dowd s Lane and the Friary area. The exhibition and trail are the result of an imaginative research harvesting process which takes the form of an arts installation where stories, juicy facts, vignettes about apples are presented to surprise, delight and inform us on the treasures of Clonmel s unique Apple Heritage. The trail comprises of 17 trees to reflect the 17 varieties of apples grown in Bulmers orchards. With the support of writer/performer Louise Garcia as Lady Apple Pip, 2cando Arts invite you to discover the apple treasures trail, taking in Parnell Street, Mitchell Street, the Friary Car Park, and Dowd s Lane. You can also meet Lady Apple Pip at the Arts Centre where applethemed refreshments will be served and where Eimear King s specially commissioned short film: Clonmel s Treasured Apple People will be screened throughout the evening. 2Cando Arts is an artistic and collaborative vehicle formed in 2007 by Theresia Guschlbauer and Lyn Mather to create public interventions and site-specific installations and events in Clonmel.

The installation initiated by Linda Fahy, the Tudor Artisan Hub was created for the Clancy Brothers Festival, Carrickon-Suir 2017 in association with creative writing tutor Margaret O Brien, Writing Changes Lives. Local artists transformed kitchen chairs into unique objet s d art based on Carrick-on-Suir s rich heritage and culture. Local writers were then challenged to write a short story inspired by these unique artwork creations with little or no collaboration with the artist. The results were uncanny, unearthing some amazing powerful connections!

CLONMEL CAMPUS WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES This Culture Night, Tudor Artisan Hub is challenging two emerging young film makers Rehan Ali (19) and Patrice Cooney (22) to produce two separate short films before Culture Night to be screened on Culture Night. The students were asked to encompass a Shoe theme somehow, and here are synopses of what the students are planning. Soles - by Rehan Ali Is a psychological thriller short that sees a young actress entering the world of theatre only to crumble into that very universe. This student film will leave you asking what is real and what is only a fragment of your imagination, menacingly toying with your mind and the fabric of your inner being. Tall Tales - by Patrice Cooney This short is a comedic story involving a group of teens, who whilst walking in the woods find a single, new, dress shoe in the bush. They each take turns coming up with crazy stories as to how the shoe may have ended up far into the woods, each story more eccentric and dramatic than the last. Who really lost this expensive shoe? Are they anything like any of the stories the group fantasise about? Is the owner coming back to get it?

A picture-postcard collection of a young woman s life in Edwardian Ireland 7.30pm About billion picture postcards circulated worldwide between 1895 and They were quick to write and cheap and easy to send, and there were several postal deliveries a day in many areas. Such cards offer a partial but unusually intimate insight, like that afforded to an eavesdropper, into the casual conversations, observations and humour of the past. This paper uses a collection of picture postcards to visualise the life of a young middle-class woman living and working in Dublin between 1903 and The cards, which were sent to her by family and friends, are examined as massmanufactured artefacts modified by users to personalise, enhance, subvert or otherwise modify their original message. They throw light on how small, unexceptional individuals dealt with everyday family, social and work life, and how they viewed and negotiated the big important issues of the time in Ireland, such as economic survival, emigration, nationalism and the role of women.
