Cat Crainn agus Madraí Uisce / Treecats and Waterdogs An exhibition by Corrina Askin with Manchán Magan
This original exhibition explores words for nature and our connection with the natural world. Corrina’s vibrant artwork combines with a bilingual soundscape by Manchán, to form an exciting, playful exhibition for young people aged 4-12 years.
“Is deis iontach é Cat Crainn agus Madraí Uisce le mealltacht agus aoibhneas focail Gaeilge don nádúr a roinnt leis an t-aos óg. Tuigimid go léir an tábhacht atá le teacht ar shlíte le leanaí a mhealladh i dtreo beoicht agus draíocht ár dteanga dhúchais – braithim go gcabhródh an togra seo go mór leis an cuspóir seo.” Manchán Magan, scríbhneoir
“Cat Crainn agus Madraí Uisce is a wonderful opportunity to share the allure and beauty of Irish words for nature with young people. We all recognise the importance of finding ways to engage children in the vibrancy and magic of our native tongue – I feel this project will greatly aid this aim.” Manchán Magan, writer
