Saibhreas is a new project developed by Common Knowledge, project coordinator Aoife Hammond and Artists Amir Abualrob and Sorcha Fox.

Saibhreas is an Irish word that translates to ‘richness’ or ‘wealth’ - In the Irish language it is often though of as a richness not from wealth but from connection - with this project we are focusing on the richness that comes from interpersonal connection and exchange and the community
that can be built from sharing stories.

From March 27 - 29 Artists Sorcha Fox and Amir Abularob will be ‘artist-in-residence’ at Common Knowledge as part of the residency they will link in with the local palestine community in Clare take part in a social and cultural evening onsite, perform a new theatre piece and work with local Clare musician Tara Baoth Mooney.
