Some tales will take the reader back in time to when the three estates were first built; others will offer a contemporary perspective on the area\u2019s recent history and culture. Many of these stories will reflect how life in the locality has changed dramatically down through the years, particularly for members of the original community. Contributors will include settled people, members of the Travelling community, those from the more recently-arrived \u2018new communities\u2019 and from the diaspora. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>Together they will publish a book<\/span><span lang=\"EN-IE\" xml:lang=\"EN-IE\"> that documents the collective memory of their community. <\/span><span>It will feature photos from the archives, as well as some people\u2019s personal photos. A short film will document the creative process involved. It will complement the publication by featuring additional material that may include footage of the local area, footage shot during the song writing workshops, as well as short interviews or vox-pops with the participants. An intergenerational element will be included where possible, to transfer knowledge and skills, to compare experiences then and now and in the final celebration performance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":20544,"template":"","class_list":["post-20543","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>My Place, My Community: A Memoir - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"My Community: A Memoir is a project where older people from the estates of Belvedere, Ashfield and Ferndale at Coolcotts, Wexford come together to tell the story of their place and the people who lived there through story, film and song over the last 40 years.\" \/>\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\/my-place-my-community-a-memoir\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"My Place, My Community: A Memoir - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"My Community: A Memoir is a project where older people from the estates of Belvedere, Ashfield and Ferndale at Coolcotts, Wexford come together to tell the story of their place and the people who lived there through story, film and song over the last 40 years.
