Acts of Commission 2 – The Spirit, The Psyche, The Body
The second of two major showcase events of new and innovative poetry commissions of poets of the North of Ireland.
Writing in Irish & English, poet Celia de Fréine presents an exploration of the indomitable spirit of woman.
Spoken word poet Abby Olivera articulates the experience being mixed race in a Caucasian society and how this impacts on the psyche.
Padraig Regan (they/them) presents their reflections and insights about the body, responding to source material inspired by other artists and anime.
Gníomhartha Coimisiúnaithe 2 – An Spiorad, An Aigne, An Corp.
An darna mórimeacht filíochta as beirt san fhéile, é bunaithe ar shaothar nua-scríofa, nuálach coimisiúnaithe le filí an tuaiscirt.
Ag scríobh go dátheangach, cuireann file Celia de Fréine léiriú inár láthair ar spiorad dochloíte na mban.
Fiosraíonn file ó bhéal Abby Olivera an t-eispéireas a bhaineann le bheith de chine measctha i sóchaí geal agus an tionchar atá aige seo ar an aigne.
Tugann Padraig Regan (siad/iad) radharc dúinn ar a gcuid léargais faoin chorp, ag freagairt d’ábhar foinse atá spreagtha ag ealaíontóirí eile agus anime.
