Drawn To the Land

Drawn to the Land (working title) is a collaborative creative project led by artist Robert Stothard, engaging young farmers in Leitrim. Rooted in shared passions, tractors, land, and rural life, the project invites participants to explore photography, audio, and video as tools for storytelling. Many young farmers already document their lives informally on social media; this initiative builds on that instinct, offering artistic and technical support to deepen their creative expression.

Through workshops and dialogue, participants will co-create content that reflects their lived experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Robert will combine his documentary photography and portraiture with audio and video materials created by the young farmers themselves. These will include conversations about farming life, identity, and the future of agriculture. For those not yet engaged in digital storytelling, the project will help them find their voice whether through sound, image, or video.

This is a project about pride, creativity, and visibility where young people shape how their stories are told.
