Inherit Ballyfermot Festival – 17th to 21st September!

14 Sep

The Inherit Ballyfermot project is coming to fruition at the Ballyfermot Library this September. With well over 70 people from Ballyfermot and it’s hinterlands participating in the project over the past couple of years, we’re delighted to see the Library being celebrated through it’s own festival! The long wait is over – get thee down to the Library this week to join in with the celebrations and to take part in the many talks, screenings and workshops unfolding during the festival!

The Library will officially be re-opened by the Lord Mayor of Dublin on Tuesday 17th September. The Slips & Stories Archive will be installed at the Library for the duration of the festival, and will be available to the people of Ballyfermot from Tuesday onwards, as part of it’s collection. The Slips & Stories Archive includes Plants, Stories, large scale collages and drawings, and a short animation called ‘Bewk’s Imaginary Library Garden’.

Some of the plants which have grown from slips, gathered from people in Ballyfermot back in 2012.
