Through conversations, workshops, storytelling, oral history, music, singing and creative activities, people of all ages will be invited to share memories, traditions and lived experiences. These contributions will help shape the creative process and the final installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The project will also explore the Yola language as an important part of Wexford&#8217;s cultural heritage and its possible connections with Norman dialects, encouraging people to reflect on how language, place and the sea have carried stories and traditions across generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Artist Eleanor Duffin will facilitate a collaborative, place-based creative process with communities across County Wexford. Stories, songs, sound recordings, film, text and objects gathered through community engagement will help shape a new installation reflecting the connections between people, place, culture and history.
