We are working on another phase of this project in partnership with Bealtaine Festival http://bealtaine.com and the Office of Public Works (OPW) at Rathfarnham Castle in Dublin. A group of older people are collaborating with artists Maeve Clancy and Liz Nilsson continuing to explore the history of the castle and objects from their own homes. Lookout for a blog coming soon.

This exhibition was the result of a creative project developed by Bealtaine Festival and Craftspace (UK) in partnership with the Office of Public Works. The aim of this project was to bring alive and interpret the history, stories and architecture of Rathfarnham Castle, through a creative process that allowed time to connect, build relationships, reflect, share knowledge and lived experience.
