Collecting Irish stories

I'm working with a London based Irish charity called Mind Yourself, to run a series of sound art workshops that explore the transition of moving from Ireland to England.

We have been collecting stories from Irish people living here in London. They have kindly shared hours of memories, detailing what it is to move from Ireland to England, and what they encountered on their way.

The recordings will be edited in group workshops, using a cut-up technique to layer, re-order, emphasise and obscure. The result will be a series of sonic journeys, from Ireland to London and back agin.

The stories are intended for radio broadcast - 2 stations, one in London and one in Ireland. Both stations are to simultaneously broadcast their sonic journeys creating a wireless whirlpool of memories between the two places.

Every sound work will then be played as a part of a wider event bringing together all of the creative projects by Mind Yourself. The event will take place in 2014.

Participate? Contact me to get involved - lisa_hall_@hotmail.co.uk

If you would  like to share your story to the project we can arrange a Skype interview. It can be as short or as long as you like and your welcome to share any kind of memory about your move from Ireland to the England.
