Classic Drive on Culture Night will bring a varied selection of musicians and artists involved in Limerick’s rich cultural life. Guests include Deirdre O’Mahony – a practicing visual artist whose practice is informed by a deep interest in rural sustainability, farming, food security and rural/urban relationships. Lorcan will speak with Deirdre and a selection of school children from Thomond Primary School, involved in this year’s 40th EVA International Guest Programme Partnership, where Deirdre has created a permanent micro-forest on-site with the school children. This involves a visual art collaboration with Berlin-based artists Slaves and Tatars. Also joining Lorcan will be Óscar Mascarenas, a lecturer of music at UL and PHD student of ritual and chant. Originally from Mexico but now based in the Burren, Co. Clare, Óscar will discuss his life as a musician, sound artist and photographer, amongst other practices, typically engaging the unique landscape of the Burren in his art.
