Cycles Screening

Patrick Bramley of ULAB Studios has been following the Cycles project from its beginnings to the final collective cycling event in July, 2024. This short documentary reveals the behind-the-scenes process of developing this project with artists Michelle Browne and Eszter Némethi, the communities in Rathvilly, Hacketstown, Graiguecullen and Tullow, and partners Carlow Sports Partnership, Carlow Arts Festival, Carlow Road Cycling Club, Carlow County Council, Carlow An Garda Síochána and Carlow Community Choir.

Photographer and filmmaker, Ros Kavanagh has been working closely with Michelle Browne to develop a film work that captures the experience of the collective cycle on the 14th of July, 2024 that began and ended at Ducketts Grove. This will include the special audio experience that was developed from texts written by the community groups during the series of Cycles workshops.

After the screening, Carlow Community Choir, led by Mary Amond O’Brien, will sing Follow the Crows -a song written especially for this project by Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn of Ye Vagabonds inspired by the texts written by the community groups.

All are welcome, booking is recommended. Refreshments will be available on arrival.
