Memory Palace of Tree Stories comes to Carlow Garden Festival 2023
Carlow Garden Festival July 29th – August 5th
The Memory Palace of Tree Stories will gather trees stories from visitors attending the various Gardens and Heritage Gardens during the festival . There will be an on site videographer , the renowned Patrick Bramley to record tree stories by guests coming to hear presentations and talks at the festival venues .
People can tell their one minute tree story on the day without filming and editing concerns.
Your Just a Minute Tree Story
These short videos are less than a minute, they can be about any aspect of trees, it might be an historical tree story or a botanical tree story, or even an ecological tree story or a personal tree story. It would be great if you can include a comment on how we might live better with the planet.
Why create your Tree Story?
After crafting your own narrative, your tree story will be part of a traveling community, your story will be presented to different audiences in exhibitions in China and Ireland and possibly elsewhere. I am making artworks in response to a number of the Tree Stories.
This event is supported by Carlow County Council Arts Office and Creative Ireland Carlow Programme.
