An Chuimhne

An Chuimhne is a creative reminiscence project led by writer Jo Holmwood, in collaboration with Rossinver Community Development Project in the New Ballagh Centre Rossinver . Working with older members of the Active Age groups in Rossinver and Kiltyclogher, Jo will guide participants through a process of storytelling, memory-sharing, and creative writing. Using photographs and personal objects as prompts, the group will explore themes such as family, farming, rituals, and rural life in Leitrim—past and present.

The project will evolve through open dialogue and creative experimentation, drawing inspiration from Irish writers like Edna O’Brien and Dermot Healy. Participants will be supported to express their experiences through memoir and poetry, with Jo transcribing and shaping the material into a small fold-out publication .
