Ke kani o ka hammering leo mai kahi hale Georgian ma ke kauhale o Killeagh, County Cork. Kū ka poʻe hele e huki i kahi puke mai ka hale waihona puke manuahi. I ke ahiahi, ʻike ʻia kahi pōʻai ʻālohilohi ma luna o ka muliwai. I loko o ka hale, hui nā mea pena kiʻi mai ʻIlelani a ma waho no ka ʻaina ahiahi.
ʻO Greywood Arts kēia. Aia ma ka wāwae o Glenbower Wood, ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai Dissour, ke manaʻo nei mākou e hoʻonoho i ka hana noʻeau ma ka puʻuwai o East Cork. Makemake mākou i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i wahi mahana a hoʻokipa kahi e hui pū ai nā mea pena a me ke kaiāulu e ʻimi i nā kaʻina hana hoʻomohala, e aʻo a e ulu ai. Hana mākou i kēia ma ka hoʻokipa ʻana i nā mea hana kiʻi mai ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā papahana noʻeau kaiāulu, ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā hanana moʻomeheu a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā papa hana hoʻonaʻauao. ʻO kā mākou manaʻolana e ʻike ka poʻe komo i ka manaʻo noʻonoʻo, hoʻomāhuahua i ko lākou manaʻo, a hoʻonui i ko lākou manaʻo aloha.
ʻElima mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua wehe ʻo Greywood Arts i kona mau puka ma ke ʻano he wahi noho hoʻopaʻapaʻa lehulehu. Aia i loko o ka hale nui, he wahi holo kiʻi ia e hoʻokipa ai i ka poʻe e hana ana i ka ʻike, palapala a me nā hana hana. Hoʻokipa mākou i ka nui o nā kamaʻāina mai ʻIlelani e like me mākou mai nā ʻāina ʻē. ʻAe mākou i nā noi no kā mākou noho ʻana i ka Creative Process i kākoʻo ponoʻī ʻia. Kākoʻo pinepine mākou i nā noi hāʻawi kālā a kēlā me kēia kanaka me kahi noho me mākou, a ke hana nei mākou e hoʻonui i kā mākou mau manawa kālā. Manaʻo mākou i kahi kāhea wehe no kahi noho kālā i mālama pū ʻia me ka National Space Center i kēia kauwela. Aia i loko o ke keʻena kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi ka papaʻaina a me ka poho, me nā kaupaku kiʻekiʻe a me nā papahele lāʻau. Ua kūpono ka Big Studio i nā mea pena kiʻi he nui, a me nā mea hoʻokani, a ʻo kā mākou lumi ʻoluʻolu o nā mea kākau e nānā aku ana i ka muliwai a kūpono no nā mea hoʻokumu pākaukau. Aia nā hale noho mai ʻekolu pō a ʻekolu mahina, a makemake mākou e kākoʻo i ka hoʻopili ʻana ma waena o nā mea pena kiʻi kipa a me ke kaiāulu kūloko. Hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule, pāʻina mākou me nā kamaʻāina āpau. Ma waho, ʻelua kao a me ka ʻohana moa e hoʻomalu ana ma luna o ka hapalua o ka māla paʻa kahiko, me nā kumu hua kanu hou a me nā moena hānai.
I Nowemapa 2022, ua hoʻokumu mākou i kahi hoʻonohonoho kukui kupaianaha i kā mākou makahiki Samhain parade. Lawe ka poʻe kamaʻāina i nā kukui willow i hana ʻia ma nā papa hana i hoʻolako ʻia e Caoimhe Dunn, he lālā o ISACS (Irish Street Arts, Circus and Spectacle Network). A laila, ʻākoakoa nā mea a pau ma ke alahaka, Poai o ka Malamalama (2022) ua hoʻomālamalama ʻia. Hoʻokumu ʻia e ka lālā VAI ʻo Aoife Banville, hoʻomālamalama i nā mahina hoʻoilo ʻeleʻele; He ala liʻiliʻi akā ikaika ia e hoʻāla ai i ko mākou ʻuhane a hoʻomanaʻo iā mākou he ikaika a hui pū ko mākou kaiāulu i nā manawa paʻakikī.
I ka mahina o Nowemapa i hala, ua hui pū mākou me ka National Space Center (NSC) kokoke e hoʻolaha i ka Space Fest mua - he hoʻolauleʻa no ka ʻenehana a me ka ʻepekema no ka wiki ʻepekema. Hoʻokipa mākou i nā mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni maikaʻi ʻo Valerie Van Zuijlen (NE) a me Emilia Tapprest (FI) nāna i hoʻomohala hou i kā lākou hana docu-fiction, Ko makou aoao o ka mahina (2022). ʻO kēia moʻolelo o nā 'moonbouncers', e kamaʻilio ana ma ka lele ʻana i nā hōʻailona satellite mai ka mahina, e ʻimi i ka paʻakikī o ka ʻenehana hou, pili, synesthesia a me ke ʻano. Ua paʻi kiʻi ʻo Emilia i kahi hiʻohiʻona hoʻoneʻe kupanaha ma lalo o ke kīʻaha satellite 32-mika o ka NSC me ka hula hula ʻo Japanese Cork, ʻo Haru. Ua hōʻike pū ʻia ka hōʻikeʻike i nā hana paʻi kiʻi i hana ʻia e ka poʻe ʻōpio kokoke i 100, ka poʻe i aʻo e pili ana i ka morse code a me ke ʻano o ka hele ʻana o ka māmā, i ka wā o nā papa hana me ka mea pena a me ke kumu aʻo, ʻo Róisín White.
Loaʻa iā mākou kahi pūnāwai paʻa i mua i ko mākou ulu ʻana i nā lewa a me nā palena. I ʻApelila, hoʻolālā mākou e hoʻomaka i kahi pūnaewele multi-disciplinary hou no nā mea pena kiʻi ma East Cork a me West Waterford. Ua hoʻomaopopo mākou i ka nui o nā mea pena kiʻi e noho nei ma ka ʻāina, kaʻawale pinepine a ʻike ʻole kekahi i kekahi. Ua hoʻokele mākou i ka papahana i ka hāʻule i hala me ke kākoʻo ʻana o nā keʻena hana noʻeau ʻo Cork County a me Waterford City a me County Council. Hiki i nā lālā ke komo i nā hālāwai o kēlā me kēia mahina, ʻo ka hapalua o ia mau hanana kaʻana like ʻana i ka salon. E hoʻokō ʻia kēia mau mea e nā kamaʻilio, nā papa hana a me ka kaʻana like. Hoʻopili koke nā mea hana kiʻi i loko o ka pailaka, kaʻana like i ke kākoʻo a me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hui. Ma Mei, e loaʻa iā lākou kahi hōʻikeʻike a me nā hanana ma Greywood Arts i ka wā o ka Mei Sunday Festival, kahi e hele ai i ka Old Market House Arts Center ma Dungarvan ma hope o ka makahiki.
ʻO ka lā Lāpule ʻo Mei ka lā ʻahaʻaina o Killeagh village no kahi kokoke i 200 mau makahiki. Ua lilo ke mele a me ka hula ma ka ʻāina o ke konohiki i kuʻuna makahiki i neʻe ʻia i ke kikowaena kauhale i nā makahiki 1920. Ua hala ka ʻahaʻaina mai ka makahiki 2001, akā nui nā kamaʻāina i haʻi mai iā mākou i ko lākou hala ʻana i ka hoʻolauleʻa. Ma 2018, ua kono mākou i kahi hui liʻiliʻi o nā mea pena e noiʻi i ka ʻahaʻaina a hopu i nā hoʻomanaʻo kūloko, e hana i kahi makana hou. Ua hoʻihoʻi mākou i ka ʻahaʻaina i kona kumu i hānau ʻia ai, ʻo ia ka mea nona ke kaiāulu ʻo Glenbower Wood. I ka makahiki 2021, ua hana mākou i kahi ala kiʻi palekana palekana ma waena o ka lāʻau me ke kākoʻo o Cork County Council. I kēia makahiki, ke hoʻokomo hou nei mākou i kahi ala noʻeau i loko o ka ʻahaʻaina, mahalo i ke kākoʻo mai ka Arts Council's Festival Investment Scheme. E holo ana ia no ʻelua pule, mai ka lā 29 ʻApelila a hiki i ka lā 14 o Mei, e hōʻike ana i nā mea pena kiʻi kūloko a me ʻehā mau mea i koho ʻia e ke kelepona ākea ākea.
ʻO kā mākou hana hauʻoli loa i kēia pūnāwai ʻo ia ka wehe ʻana i kahi wahi hou, ʻo The Coach House ma Greywood Arts. No ka makahiki i hala aku nei mākou e nānā ana i ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana o kahi hale i hoʻoneʻe ʻia i loko o nā studio no nā mea pena kiʻi kūloko, kahi keʻena hoʻonaʻauao noʻeau a me kahi hanana 50 mau noho a me ka lumi hōʻikeʻike. Kākoʻo ʻia e LEADER, Cork County Council, a me kahi hoʻolaha Fund It, e lilo ia i kumu waiwai kaiāulu kūpono no ke kauhale liʻiliʻi.
