Event
House of Memory from Architecture at The Edge is coming to this year’s Galway International Arts Festival. The House of Memory installation invites the public to share their personal experience of loss and grief during the pandemic.
Designed by architect David Kelly, House of Memory is one of the projects arising from the Irish Hospice Foundation’s Seed Grants scheme in partnership with the Creative Ireland programme. The scheme aimed to inspire and support creative responses to the themes of dying, death and bereavement during Covid-19.
Members of the public are invited to visit the House of Memory and grieve losses experienced as a result of the pandemic, leaving a memento or message behind to create a collaborative community installation.
House of Memory runs from 1-18 September at Galway Festival Gallery.
