This barge is famously known in Athy as barge 113B and was owned by the Hughes Family, a family that through generations worked on the canal as well as in the Minch Norton factory in the town. The artwork celebrates the beautiful natural landscape surrounding the town and in particular the importance of nature in our current climate situation worldwide. This is referenced in particular in the biodiversity garden in the bottom left of the composition where the monarch butterfly is located, the butterfly being a creature heavily affected by climate change as well as being a symbol for the deaf community.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>The hope is for the this piece of artwork to engage with people of all generations in Athy by examining it\u2019s rich past while also looking into the future<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The mural will be unveiled for Culture Night Friday 17th Sept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":16162,"template":"","class_list":["post-16161","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Signs of Change - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Athy Sing &amp; Sign plan to create a mural that represents Athy Waterways, a Patrick Kavanagh poem, climate change and the deaf community and will be unveiled in Co Kildare.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/signs-of-change\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Signs of Change - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Athy Sing &amp; Sign plan to create a mural that represents Athy Waterways, a Patrick Kavanagh poem, climate change and the deaf community and will be unveiled in Co Kildare.
