Dúchas agus Dúlra; Foraging Language

A bilingual (Irish/English) walking tour and creative workshop with Aoife de Bhál and Jasmin Marker at Ulster Folk Museum

£10 entry to walk and workshop, this also gives you access to the UFM site for the day.

August 6^th: 2pm - 4:30pm

Part of National Museums Northern Ireland ‘Languages of Ulster’ programme

In midsummer, whilst crops are in bloom across the countryside farmers prepare for the coming harvest period. However lurking in the hedgerows are the Púca, the mythical changeling who will decide whether the crops will be bountiful for cursed.

Join us at the Ulster Folk Museum for the second event led by Aoife De Bhál. This bilingual event will lead us around the UFM site and witness the changing of the site as the may flowers wilt to be replaced by the fruits ready for harvest. This natural history tour will look at the flora and fauna of the site, as well the folklore and mysticism that comes with this time of year. As part of this event we welcome visual artist Jasmin Marker who will conduct us in a cameraless photography workshop, using foraged materials from the walk to create images.

This event will be in Irish and English and is open to fluent and bilingual speakers, as well as those new to the Irish Language.

Booking is essential, and families are welcome.

Siúilóid treoraithe agus ceardlann cruthaitheach le hAoife de Bhál agus Jasmin Marker ag Músaem Daonchultúir Uladh. Beidh an imeacht as Gaeilge agus Béarla.

Tá costas £10 ar an imeacht, mar chuid de seo beidh cead isteach agat chuig suíomh an mhúsaeim ar feadh an lae.

I lár an tsamhraidh agus na barra faoi bhláth, déanann na feirmeoirí réidh faoi choinne an fhómhair. Bí cúramach áfach, mar tá an púca sa fál agus beidh an focal scoir acu idir fómhar fairsing nó fánach.

Bígí linn ag Músaem Daonchultúir Uladh don darna imeacht le hAoife de Bhál. Beidh seans agat siúilóid a ghlacadh fríd an suíomh agus breathnú ar na séasúir ag athrú. Díreoidh an imeacht isteach ar flóra agus fána an tsuímh, chomh maith le na scéaltaí a bhaineann leo. Cuireann muid fáilte roimh an t-ealaíontóir físiúil Jasmin Marker, a bheith ag glacadh ceardlann grianghrafadóireachta gan ceamara. Ina ionad ceamara, bainfidh muid úsáid as plandaí an tsuímh le pictiúir a chruthaigh.

Is imeacht dátheangach (Gaeilge/Béarla) é seo. Cuireann muid fáilte roimh cainteoirí líofa, foghlaimeoirí, agus daoine gan taithí ar an teanga.

Is gá áirithint a dhéanamh. Fáilte roimh teaghlaigh.
