Kildare Readers Festival: Shelving

Tuesday 5th October, 2021 - 19:00

FREE, booking essential
Book Now

Why do artists and writers shelve or abandon particular projects – books, artworks, ideas?

What does this tell us about how artists and writers work? What does it tell us about the systems in which they work, the expectations placed upon them, the kinds of work considered viable, valuable, worthwhile?

For this event as part of Kildare Readers’ Festival, a number of practitioners from literature and the visual arts have been invited to present and talk about works they’ve previously shelved, abandoned, cannibalised, lost, forgotten, or reconfigured.

SHELVING will feature presentations/performances by three writers and artists: Darran Anderson, Claire-Louise Bennett, and Suzanne Walsh.

This event is curated by the outgoing Maynooth University/Kildare Arts Office writers-in-residence Nathan O’Donnell and Susan Tomaselli.

Kildare Readers Festival is brought to you every year in October by Kildare County Library and Arts Service. For more information about KRF see http://www.kildarereadersfestival.ie/
