SUMMARY:Creative Coding Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:This semester we’re going to run a weekly session for those interested in learning “creative coding”. This approach is a good way for those without any coding experience to develop a foundation in programming. The sessions will use online resources (see below) to guide self-directed learning. \n\nCreative coding is a different discipline than programming systems. The goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional. Interaction design\, information visualization and generative art are all different types of creative coding – which has become a household term describing artworks articulated as code. (via Awesome Creative Coding ) \n\nWhat can I expect?\n\nThis is a peer support group\, not an instructor-led workshop / class.\nIt’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills\, and to get some help\, if you need it.\nThere are a collection of tutorial videos (bring headphones)\, online courses and reference material linked to in the “Further Details” section below\, for you to work through at your own pace.\n\nIf you have no coding experience\, and aren’t sure where or how to start\, someone will help you. \nCome along\, meet people who are also learning to code\, and get help if you run into any problems. Showing what you’re working on would be great too. \nFurther details\nYou can find further details\, and learning resources\, at: https://github.com/dh-nuigalway/Creative-Coding-Meetup.

SUMMARY:Modernist Studies Ireland’s: Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nModernist Studies Ireland’s monthly forum for new work in Irish modernist studies—Works in Progress—cordially invites you to its second session of this autumn season\, taking place on Tuesday\, 23 Oct\, from 6-8 pm in G011 (THB)\, as per usual with nibbles and some wine! The event seeks to shine a light on Lucia Joyce as a collaborator and significantly understudied contributor to much of the compositional work her father James Joyce undertook in the 1930s\, and which led to his probably most obscurantist work\, Finnegans Wake. \nOur two wonderful speakers are NUI Galway alumna Dr Siobhán Purcell and Genevieve Sartor (Trinity College Dublin)\, who submitted her PhD thesis last month. Siobhán will kick off the session with a talk that stresses the need to recontextualise Lucia’s letterings or lettrines. Her presentation highlights overlooked instances of Lucia Joyce’s contributions—instances which are not at all liminal and silent; once ‘illuminated’\, they embody presence and performativity in that they elaborate dynamics of the written text while complicating any straightforward understanding of the most basic textual elements of print culture: semantics\, lettering\, typeface\, and authorship. At once word and image\, the lettrines work as additional contextual signifiers that elaborate the polyphonic nature of Finnegans Wake. In re-contextualising Lucia Joyce’s lettrines\, Siobhán’s paper suggests that reading Lucia’s contributions to these published editions also troubles our collective cultural memorializing of both James and Lucia Joyce\, while giving a glimpse of how to recover the obscured and concealed contributions of women and disabled artists to modernism’s legacy. \nGenevieve’s talk\, on the other hand\, will bring a third figure into the realm: psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. From 1975 to 1976\, Lacan delivered a seminar series on James Joyce that claimed that Joyce represents a new future for psychoanalysis. Lacan believed that Joyce could have been psychotic but was able to cure this possible condition by traversing the Oedipal framework through writing Finnegans Wake. Genevieve’s presentation will contextualise Lacan’s convictions before suggesting the possibility of revising Lacan’s late work through an original and biographically-driven argument. While Lacan was presenting his seminar that praised Joyce for having overcome psychosis\, the author’s allegedly schizophrenic daughter Lucia was living in Northampton as a resident of Saint Andrew’s\, the sanitorium where she remained until her death in 1982. Lacan refrains from mentioning Lucia in any detail—nor did he make the effort to visit her. Similarly\, there has been no scholarship on Lucia in relation to Lacan’s work on her father in either literary or Lacanian study. Through a selective look at pre-publication content in Finnegans Wake that shows how Joyce textually represented Lucia’s schizophrenia through time\, this talk will show that a focus on her can shape new ways to productively advance Lacan’s work on Joyce and his claims on the future of the clinic. \n

SUMMARY:"Can Human Rights Defeat Nationalism?" by Lea David.
DESCRIPTION:The Power\, Conflict and Ideologies Research Cluster (School of Political Science & Sociology)\, and the Irish Centre for Human Rights\, are co-hosting a visit by Dr. Lea David\, who is currently Marie Curie fellow (2017-2019) in the School of Sociology\, UCD. \nThe focus of this lecture is the way in which collective memory and memorialization processes are understood within the human rights centred ideology and how such understanding affects nationalism. The basic difference between human rights and nationalist understanding and promotion of memorialization processes is that human rights stand for world-wide inclusion of all people into one moral community\, whereas nationalism presumes nationally bounded collectives. For the ideology of nationalism\, historical memory is perceived in terms of continuity\, provides legitimacy for sovereignty\, however\, human rights as the grand narrative in the world polity\, has provided a new definition – that of coming to terms with (one specific version of) the past – by which collectives are supposed to remember\, a phenomenon coined here as “memorialization isomorphism”. Memorialization isomorphism refers to the standardized set of norms\, promoted through human rights infrastructures in the world polity\, through which societies are supposed to deal with the legacies of mass human rights abuses. States\, in particular weak and post-conflict states with troubled pasts\, are expected to conform to the international human rights norms of facing their criminal past and becoming accountable for past massive human rights abuses. \nI ask here how successful memorialization isomorphism is in promoting universalist human rights values and whether memorialization isomorphism is capable of harvesting micro-solidarity in order to become an ideological cement that can overcome nationalism. Since the experience of micro-solidarity is not instinctive but rather a function of an interpretation of symbols and history\, I argue that in contexts within which ethnic symbols and collective histories have played immediate roles in conflicts\, and were further legitimized and embedded by peace agreements and human rights institutions\, it is nationalist apparatus which has become the ultimate factor in the processes of recollecting micro-solidarity. In other words\, I argue that at the world polity level\, human rights have produced a norm of memorialization isomorphism that does not actually lead to the advancement of human rights values but is instead likely to further promote nationalist ideologies. Finally\, I suggest we look at the current reappearance of nationalism world-wide partially as a result of a gradual and accumulative process of standardization of memory – from “duty to remember” as a moral instance onto policy-oriented “proper way to remember” and try to assess the impact such process has on the perception of the “self” and “other”. \nDr. Lea David is currently a Marie Curie fellow (2017-2019) at the School of Sociology at University College Dublin (UCD)\, where she is finishing her research project on Nationalism\, Memory and Human Rights in the Western Balkans and in Israel/Palestine under the supervision of Prof. Siniša Malesević. For this research\, she also received a prestigious Israeli Council for Higher Education Fellowship (ות”ת) for outstanding Israeli scholars. In addition\, as Senior Researcher for a four-year NSF-funded research on cultural anthropology\, she is currently conducting extensive research in Bosnia-Herzegovina on religious competition in a post-conflict landscape. In 2014\, while at the Sociology and Anthropology Department of Ben Gurion University\, Israel\, Dr. David completed her PhD dissertation on the politics of memory and human rights in post-conflict Serbia. In 2014-15\, she was awarded a Joint Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Anthropology Department and the Strochlitz Institute for Holocaust Research of Haifa University. In 2015-16\, she won both the Fulbright fellowship and the Rabin fellowship\, the latter being awarded to the best Fulbright candidate of the year in social sciences. She spent her Fulbright-Rabin fellowship conducting research at the Anthropology Department of the University of Pittsburgh. In 2016-2017\, she held the Jonathan Shapira Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Sociology and Anthropology Department of Tel Aviv University. Her book manuscript “The past can’t heal us! Human rights\, memory and micro-sociology” is currently under review for several academic publishers.

SUMMARY:Cover Revolution! Illustrators and the New Face of Italian Publishing.
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNUI Galway is delighted to host an exhibition that celebrates contemporary Italian illustrators and their collaboration with the publishing industry. \n\n\n\n\nA revolution is taking place on Italian book­stores shelves\, and more and more often illus­trators are being asked to use their colour palettes and distinctive marks to update publishers’ visual identities or redefine an author’s image. A handful of publish­ers\, talented art directors\, and a group of internationally acclaimed Italian illustra­tors\, known for their original and powerful work\, are responsible for this change. The idea to document this propitious moment in Italian illustration came to life after ob­serving this phenomenon\, and this exhibition brings to light the work of some of the most loved and respected Italian illustrators: Fran­co Matticchio\, Lorenzo Mattotti\, Emiliano Ponzi\, Guido Scarabottolo\, Gianluigi Toc­cafondo\, and Olimpia Zagnoli. \nProfessor Paolo Bartoloni\, Established Professor and Head of Italian at NUI Galway\, said: “This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to observe the synergy between the creative practices of visual artists and those of authors\, and the ways in which the written word evokes incredibly powerful and captivating images. The colours in this exhibition are vibrant\, and the echoes of various styles\, especially surrealism and modernism\, uncanny.” \n\n\nExhibition Details \n\n\n\n\n\nDates\n\nSeptember 26 – October 28\, 2018\n\n\n\nLocation\n\nHardiman Building foyer\n\n\n\nCurator\n\nMelania Gazzotti\n\n\n\nFunder\n\nNUI Galway; The Italian Institute of Culture\, Dublin; The Italian Embassy in Ireland

SUMMARY:‘Stalin and the Spanish Civil War\, Eighty Years On’
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, 30 October\, 8 pm\, at the Galway Mechanics Institute\, Middle Street\, Daniel Kowalsky will speak on ‘Stalin and the Spanish Civil War\, Eighty Years On’ \nThe event is co-organised by the Irish Centre for the Histories of Labour and Class (Moore Institute\, NUI Galway) and the Galway Council of Trade Unions. Free\, all welcome. \nDr Kowalsky writes: Moscow’s intervention in Spain went far beyond the dispatch to the besieged Republic of state-of-the-art Soviet war matériel. An accompanying agitprop campaign\, a cinematic offensive\, humanitarian relief\, and diplomatic rapprochement marked the Spanish Civil War as the most significant projection of Russian power into the West\, up to that moment. \nBecause of the unavailability of archives\, Cold War bias\, and grievous errors by historians\, the participation of the Soviet Union in the Spanish Civil War was the last great unresolved problem in modern European history. Today\, over a quarter-century after the declassifications of Spanish and Russian archives\, research in the field is booming\, with new publications steadily fleshing out the improbable\, epic drama. Dr Kowalsky’s talk will examine and probe the recent historiographic upsurge in this fascinating subject and reveal the full story of Stalin and the Spanish Civil War. \nDaniel Kowalsky lecturer in European Studies at Queen’s University\, Belfast\, is the author of numerous books and articles on the civil war in Spain

SUMMARY:Climate-Themed Art Exhibition by Gordon Bromley
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNUI Galway’s Moore Institute and Galway University Foundation will host a climate-themed exhibition\, Art on the Edge\, in the Hardiman Research Building during the month of November. Featuring original artwork by NUI Galway physical geographer\, Dr Gordon Bromley\, the exhibition includes a mix of drawings and paintings captured from his international field research. \nThe exhibition will be launched at 5pm on Thursday\, 1 November followed by a seminar at 6pm by Dr Bromley on The business end of climate research\, showcasing ongoing climate research at NUI Galway. The event and exhibition is free and open to the public. \nArt on the Edge displays science-inspired artwork from almost two decades of field research into earth’s climate system. Dr Gordon Bromley\, an NUI Galway Foundation Research Leader\, describes the exhibition as “bringing the public face-to-face with climate science – and climate scientists – through a lens of art.” It will feature Dr Bromley’s artwork from the high deserts of Peru to the edge of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet\, coupled with human artefacts (scientific and everyday items left on the ice such as drink cans\, old radiosondes\, and a geologic pick axe). It will also feature photographs and video footage from Dr Bromley’s field work in Antarctica\, Greenland\, Peru\, Colombia\, and Scotland\, demonstrating how everyday people use our landscapes as laboratories and fostering the notion of climate science as a vital element of our community. \nSpeaking about the seminar\, Dr Bromley from the School of Geography and Archaeology at NUI Galway\, said: “The seminar will consider the consequences of climate in flux\, including today’s rapid global warming. Earth’s climate is inherently changeable. Human-induced climate change represents one of the greatest uncertainties we face in the 21st Century and beyond. This topic is a highly visible source of public disquiet and political controversy\, but the actual science feeding our climatologic knowledge remains mysterious to the vast majority. And it is this disconnect\, between science and the public that funds it\, that is the biggest challenge to our society’s effective preparation for future ‘climate shock’. \n“The seminar will serve as an opportunity for us to explore exactly what climate is\, how we think it behaves based on scientific research\, and plausible scenarios for our future climate and sea level\, highlighting the new and ongoing climate research being conducted at NUI Galway.” \nProfessor Daniel Carey\, Director of the Moore Institute\, said: “This exhibition of stunning artwork will inspire much-needed discussion and reflection on climate change. The conjunction of art and science reminds us that only by convening a wider conversation that includes the humanities and Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Maths (STEM) can we make progress in public and academic understanding.” \nAs part of his international field research in these various locations\, Dr Bromley primarily uses the geologic record of glaciation to establish two things: the timing and magnitude of past abrupt climate change events\, and the impact of abrupt climate change on Earth’s ecosystems. He also continues to work towards understanding the cause of the ice ages and the sensitivity of our climate to carbon dioxide (for example\, if CO2 concentrations double\, what exactly will be the magnitude of atmospheric warming?). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Irish Studies Seminar Series: Woolfs in Ireland: The Lure of Language and Place by Anne Byrne
DESCRIPTION:Dr Anne Byrne (Sociology & Politics\, NUI Galway) will deliver her seminar\, “Woolfs in Ireland: The Lure of Language and Place”\, based on her ongoing research investigating the links between Virginia and Leonard Woolf and twentieth-century Ireland. For further details on the seminar and Dr Byrne’s work in this area please see below. \nThe seminar will take place at 4pm\, Thursday 1 November\, at the Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies\, Distillery Road. \nBeidh an-fáilte roimh chách\, and do arrive early as seating is limited! \nWoolfs in Ireland: The Lure of Language and Place \nThe Woolfs record of their 10-day tour of Ireland in April-May 1934 neglects to mention meetings with indigenous Irish\, or so it seems. From a close reading of letters and diaries\, the Woolfs\, particularly Virginia\, experienced an unanticipated immersion in indigenous Irish culture\, albeit a mediated one. The Woolfs met with Apostle\, Celtic scholar and classicist George Derwent Thomson in Galway\, an English intellectual with intimate knowledge of the Irish language and life on the Blasket Islands. \nIn Dublin\, Virginia observed the cast and crew of The Man of Aran (1934)\, a documentary of the Aran Islands filmed by the Canadian\, Robert Flaherty. Woolf’s fascination with the Irish language and the Aran Islands are the subjects of this article. I argue that experiences of immersion in Irish culture\, despite herself\, led to the realization that Ireland was no country for Woolf\, and not only because of Irish loquacity or ‘the talk’. Virginia was animated and overwhelmed by Irish language and indigenous culture as re-represented by J.M. Synge\, Thomson and the Aran Islanders. Consequently\, she understood the magnitude of her separation from Ireland as artist and writer. \nThe distance and barrier created by an oral culture\, a vernacular language\, an historical and contemporary non-Anglophone literary tradition\, continuing conflicts over belonging and representations of Irishness by cultural nationalists\, could not be crossed without prodigious investment of time and effort and with little or no guarantee of success. Ireland\, in the midst of its own history\, could not offer refuge for the Woolfs\, personally\, professionally or politically. \nByrne\, Anne and Gosling\, Paul. 2018.

SUMMARY:Creative Coding Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:This semester we’re going to run a weekly session for those interested in learning “creative coding”. This approach is a good way for those without any coding experience to develop a foundation in programming. The sessions will use online resources (see below) to guide self-directed learning. \n\nCreative coding is a different discipline than programming systems. The goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional. Interaction design\, information visualization and generative art are all different types of creative coding – which has become a household term describing artworks articulated as code. (via Awesome Creative Coding ) \n\nWhat can I expect?\n\nThis is a peer support group\, not an instructor-led workshop / class.\nIt’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills\, and to get some help\, if you need it.\nThere are a collection of tutorial videos (bring headphones)\, online courses and reference material linked to in the “Further Details” section below\, for you to work through at your own pace.\n\nIf you have no coding experience\, and aren’t sure where or how to start\, someone will help you. \nCome along\, meet people who are also learning to code\, and get help if you run into any problems. Showing what you’re working on would be great too. \nFurther details\nYou can find further details\, and learning resources\, at: https://github.com/dh-nuigalway/Creative-Coding-Meetup. We are planning on hosting the sessions on Tuesdays from 3pm – 4pm\, in the “Bridge Room”\, on the first floor of the Hardiman Research Building. \nAny questions?: Contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie)

SUMMARY:Launch of 'Yeats Collection Exhibition'
DESCRIPTION:New NUI Galway exhibition features art from controversial Yeats sale \n  \nNUI Galway is delighted to announce the launch of its Yeats Collection Exhibition. Following controversial sales in the UK and Ireland of material from ‘Ireland’s greatest literary and artistic family’ – as described by London auctioneers Sotheby’s – the university is proud to confirm that its recent acqusitions ensure many valuable artefacts are to remain in Ireland. Now newly on display at NUI Galway’s James Hardiman Library\, the art and culture on show enhances the university’s existing special collections in the visual arts\, and in English and Irish literature and theatre\, showcasing its vibrant holdings of Irish cultural life. \n  \nMost of all the exhibition highlights the art and culture of the west. It draws attention to the work of women in renewing Ireland’s culture\, and the early years of Ireland’s theatrical renaissance. In an exquisite drawing by Jack B. Yeats\, the Roscommon poet and Irish-language playwright Douglas Hyde is shown acting with characteristic gusto and moustachios – a companion sketch depicts the Irish National Theatre’s greatest comic actor William G. Fay shouting at actors mid-rehearsal. Fourteen original drawings of human and animal island life by Elizabeth Rivers reveal the sensitivity of an artist who spent more time on the Aran islands than all the Yeatses and Synges combined. Shown alongside original woodcuts and fine art books\, these drawings\, unusually\, were made as illustrations for the very last Cuala Press book Stranger in Aran. Cuala Industries\, founded by sisters Elizabeth and Lily Yeats as a feminist artistic collective\, had by then become the foremost design workshop in Ireland. Its contributions to embroidery and printing are honoured by a unique handpainted banner used for publicity in art fairs. Further rarely-seen items highlight the contributions to the west of Lady Augusta Gregory and her son Robert Gregory\, whose untimely death one hundred years ago in the First World War is remembered as part of forthcoming Armistice Day commemorations. \n  \nThe Yeats family collection is the most important to come out of Ireland this century. It featureds an entirely unique trove of material relating to the poet and Nobel Prize-winner W.B. Yeats\, his brother Jack B. Yeats\, their father the artist John Butler Yeats\, and their sisters Susan (Lily) and Elizabeth (Lolly) Yeats. More than a family collection\, it describes the making of modern Ireland by telling the story of the collaborations of the Irish Revival. Its open sale was therefore controversial. A group of academics\, writers\, artists\, and concerned citizens\, including the poets Paul Muldoon\, Vona Groarke\, Michael Longley\, Nick Laird\, and Marie Heaney\, widow of Seamus Heaney\, led by NUI Galway’s Dr Adrian Paterson and Trinity College’s Dr Tom Walker wrote an open letter to then Minister of Culture Heritage and the Gaeltacht Heather Humphries (also published in the Irish Times)\, calling on her to save the collection for the nation. The sale and the controversy attracted worldwide interest\, with questions asked in the Oireachtas\, and feature articles published in the New York Times\, the Irish Times\, and other outlets. While it is clear that some items were saved\, the sale still went ahead with all items available to the highest bidder. \n  \nThe rescue of such important items for the nation and future generations in the west by NUI Galway is thus cause for celebration. To mark the acquisitions and to highlight existing artwork the new Yeats Collection Exhibition runs until Christmas. The exhibition is launched at 5pm on Friday 9th November at the James Hardiman Library’s Special Collections Reading Room\, and all are cordially invited to attend. \nContact the exhibition curators Adrian Paterson adrian.paterson@nuigalway.ie and Barry Houlihan barry.houlihan@nuigalway.ie \nNOTES ON SELECTED EXHIBITION ITEMS \n  \nJack B. Yeats (1871-1957). Drawings of Douglas Hyde and W.G. Fay (c. 1903) \nBorn in Roscommon\, the rich literary and cultural achievements of Douglas Hyde resulted in him becoming Ireland’s first President in 1938. As well as founding the Gaelic League and producing poetic translations of genius\, Hyde was a scholar and playwright in the Irish language\, and a fine actor. He is depicted in character in one of his own plays\, wide-eyed and mid-speech in a vibrant sketch by Ireland’s greatest artist Jack B. Yeats. William G. Fay was the finest comic actor in the early Abbey Theatre\, and is shown by the same artist in rehearsal mode with the company exhorting them to one more effort. ‘Now are ye ready’ says Jack Yeats’s caption: ‘Then let us go again’. These fine works of art record the renaissance of Irish theatre\, complement the university’s holdings from Jack B. Yeats’s 1900 Galway sketchbook. \n  \nElizabeth Corbett Yeats (1868-1940). Banner for Cuala Industries (c.1920) \nIn such an astonishing artistic family the Yeats sisters are often overlooked. However they were fine artists in their own right. Lily Yeats (like her mother christened Susan Mary) trained in needlework with May Morris (daughter of William Morris) and set up a pioneering all-female embroidery workshop in Dublin; with her team of assistants on the other side of the curtain Elizabeth Corbett Yeats (known to the family as Lolly) established a printing press\, the Cuala Press\, with her brother W.B. Yeats as literary editor\, both workshops also featuring frequent input from their brother the artist Jack B. Yeats. Cuala Industries shows the overwhelming cultural importance of the Yeats family\, and is proudly represented by a banner naming the sisters and both integral parts of the organization. The banner is the only known survival of its kind\, handpainted on textiles\, and was probably intended for marketing the collective at artistic fairs in Ireland\, England\, and America. Its presence at NUI Galway highlights existing strengths in literature and publishing and underscores cultural achievements of women working for the new nation. \n  \nRobert Gregory (1881-1918). Drawings of figures and landscapes (c.1912-4) \nRobert Gregory’s death in a fighter plane robbed the nation of one of its finest artistic talents\, described by W.B. Yeats as ‘a great painter born […] to Galway rock and thorn’. Never-before seen original drawings highlight on this centenary his visionary eye and his close connection to the west’s landscape of myth and stone. \n  \nElizabeth Rivers (1903-1964).14 original ink and pencil drawings for Stranger in Aran (1946).  Under Elizabeth Corbett Yeats the pioneering Cuala Press become the foremost art printers in Ireland. A full collection of its unique hand-painted broadsides at the university features art by Jack B. Yeats\, Harry Kernoff\, Maurice McGonigal and lyrics from W.B. Yeats\, F.R. Higgins and Dorothy Wellesley. Yet its valuable printed books\, each produced entirely by hand\, are its finest achievement\, and NUI Galway’s collection features poets from George Russell (A.E.) to Louis MacNeice\, and writers from Lady Augusta Gregory to Lord Dunsany. Very few however feature illustrations: one that does\, providing a unique record of island life\, is Stranger in Aran\, by Elizabeth Rivers\, the very last book to be published by the Cuala Press in 1946. The newly-purchased original drawings from the artist\, born in London but increasingly drawn to the west of Ireland\, represent depictions of Galway hookers\, fishermen\, birds\, scenery\, and other characteristic details from island life. With jotted notes to the printer they also make a significant contribution to our understanding of Cuala’s pioneering printing process and the book history of Ireland.  –ENDS–

SUMMARY:Italian (NUI Galway) and Tulca Festival of Visual Art present Transformative Memories: Curatorial Practices in the Third Millennium
DESCRIPTION:A Roundtable event with Valentina Zucchi (Mus.e Florence)\, Linda Shevlin (Curator\, Tulca Festival of Visual Art\, Galway)\, Mary McCarthy (Crawford Gallery\, Cork)\, Paolo Bartoloni (Italian\, NUIG) \nFriday November 9\, 6-8pm\, O’Donoghue Theatre\, National University of Ireland Galway \nThe current world is inextricably linked to a past that not only forms identity\, tradition and individual or collective tastes\, but also shapes the urban landscape as it evolves through transformative interactions with time and history. Memory plays a crucial role in shaping and re-shaping identity and urban development\, evermore present in our lives\, as both menacing and redeeming. In the twin realms of culture and heritage; memory represents a field of energies that can be activated to reflect the dominant narrative: borders are redrawn\, past alliances erased\, place transformed. Memory\, with subtle reframing\, can collapse or powerfully reprise a narrative. \nDisrupting the mechanisms of memory\, offering counter points\, examining the risks and limits of nostalgia should be key concerns for our civic conversations. \nProfessor Bartoloni\, Head of Italian\, explains the idea behind the event: “Innovative curatorial practices are reinventing the ways we look at and inhabit the visual\, understood both as a form of creative practice and an experience of the world. Our intention is to provide a forum in which curators\, artists and academics can share ideas as well as tell their stories\, and what it means to promote art in the third millennium.” \nThis round-table event features cultural producers from Ireland and Italy\, two nations whose cultural heritage is at once comforting and normative. This forum will discuss how innovative curatorial and artistic practices can help us see our present as shaped by the past\, calling the potent role of nostalgia as benign celebration into question. \nhttps://transformativememories.eventzilla.net/web/event?eventid=2138710305 \nIn the spirit of openness regarding cultural processes that so many Galway spokespersons have called for of late\, audiences are invited to shape the discussion by submitting questions to the panel at: transformativememories@gmail.com
