Casán na Marbh: The Path of Death, aims to bring Sligo’s unique famine story to life through a collaborative creative process involving local artists, and writer Joe Mc Gowan. Alongside a narrative, the book will feature specially commissioned illustrations and creative design work produced by local artists. These artists will interpret key historical scenes and themes, creating an evocative cover and a series of original images that help communicate the story in a powerful and engaging way. By involving local creatives, the project ensures that Sligo’s history is told to the people of Sligo through locally rooted artistic expression, enhancing both its cultural resonance and community connection.
