The Vision / An Fís
SAMHLAIGH /IMAGINE
Samhlaigh is a multidisciplinary arts collective based along Donegal's rural Atlantic coast. It gathers together artists, musicians, writers, photographers and multidisciplinary creatives to collaborate and work in a socially engaged manner. It also has a special focus on art outside of the gallery, immersive training, and the role of creativity in cultivating wellbeing. Forging strong connections with the community, the collective uniquely aims to bridge the gap between professional and novice art practitioners.
Is comhchoiteann ilmheánach é Samhlaigh, atá lonnaithe in Iarthar Thír Chonaill. Bailíonn sé ealaíontóirí, ceoltóirí, scríbhneoirí, grianghrafadóirí agus daoine cruthaitheacha chun comhoibriú le chéile. Tá béim againn ar oidhreacht, nádúr agus folláine agus tá suim faoi leith againn ar rannpháirtaíocht sna h-ealaíona.
Samhlaigh develops arts-based programmes and experiences, with strong nature, wellbeing and heritage elements, and these are delivered to the public, arts audiences, and artists in outdoor workshops, retreats or residency settings. Samhlaigh aims to improve economic sustainability for artists living and working in rural Co. Donegal, and is also committed to forging social networks and maintaining a respectful connection with nature. Where possible, Samhlaigh actively promotes the use of the Irish language and seeks to cultivate practical, spiritual and sustainable connections with Mother Earth.
'Samhlaíocht Chruthaitheach na nGael'.
Podchraoladh i nGaeilge ina bhfuil Pól Ó Gallachóir, Aodh Mach Gairbheá agus Maria Coleman i mbun comhrá faoi ról na samhlaíochta sa phróiseas cruthaitheachta. Breithneofar freisin ar ról na samhlaíochta inár n-oidhreacht chomhroinnte. Tugann an podchraoladh seo deis iontach dóibh, comhrá leathan agus bríomhar a roinnt, agus mar is eol do chách, is féidir le muintir na hÉireann caint!
