The students of the National College of Art and Design would like to invite you to their protest exhibition "Art Not War" on Wednesday 7th December. The event will include works of every shape, size and medium, expressing the views of artists from inside and outside the college who object to the use of violent conflict as a solution to the world's problems. |

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1Thanks, Nessa and all the dozens of students and guests who came and made the storytelling event at the Make Art Not War exhibition an unforgettable experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of telling almost non-stop for two hours. The listening was fairly intense. :)
I'd love to do this again. Apart from the repertoire mentioned above, I have a 50-minute version of the 12th century saga of Maeldun the Voyager - an Irish warrior of the early Christian period who goes on a sea voyage to seek and destroy his father's murderer. The voyage is accursed and Maeldun and his crew wander among islands populated by demons, monsters, giants, and four ancient hermits dressed only in their own long, white hair, before finally finding their way back to the house of the murderer.
That's not to mention my repertoire of stories on themes besides war and peace!
Any offers? If somebody can arrange a venue and a crowd, I'll perform!
Best,
Coilín.
I saw this only today, mea culpa.
Maybe a repeat sometime?
I would of loved to have gone there. Alas it's now 8.30 and I'm in Waterford.
It's a real interesting idea and I do hope it's successful.
Thanks, Nessa!
It's a great honour for me to be invited me to participate as guest storyteller and fellow peace protester at the "Make Art Not War" exhibition!
Here comes some more information about my part in the event.
This performance will draw on my long-standing repertoire of stories on the theme of war and peace:
- The Molbos Defend their Fatherland
Some Danish villages have more than one idiot! How will these idiots defend their fatherland from invasion?
- Five Blind Men and the Elephant
This Sufi story is a substitute for the story of Muhammad Ali, whose subversive comments might offend the sensibilities of our American guests.
- The Louse Woman
A Brazilian folktale about a woman who insists on helping her husband, despite his protests.
- The Shaman´s Shadow
A greedy shaman from the cold north west deploys a powerful shadow helper to build a warring empire.
- Death in Baghdad
New version of an old Sufi story, in which an American officer in Iraq goes on the hunt for Saddam´s personal hitman.
- Bigots
Subjected to sectarian abuse while working as a doctor in Belfast, I proved that I could give as good as I got.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
