Postcard and exhibtion for the Irish Language Litrature Festival.
2017
Client — Féile Litríochta Gaeilge
IMRAM— Féile Litríochta Gaeilge/Irish Language Literature Festival — asked our class to help promote their 2017 event. We produced 16 postcards, each a different interpretation of works by Irish language poets Rory Gorman, John McDonald or Caitríona NíChleirchin. This project was included in the 100 Archive Selection for 2017.
My postcard was inspired by NíChleirchins ‘Persephone,’ which featured the Mythical Greek figure Persephone carry the pain of her mother’s death. I included the line Chlaon Persephone a cloigeann, meaning Persephone bowed her head.
