THE
DISAPPEARED TRAMS ON THE HILL OF HOWTH
Join us in
Howth Village for an immersive audio-visual experience focusing on
the now forgotten Hill of Howth Tramway
(c.1901 – 1959).
Experimental
sound artists Adrian Hughes and Timothy O'Neill will transform
The Old Courthouse (see map) in Howth village
into a deeply immersive organic entity.
Ponder Old
Film loop projections, walk amongst selected hanging artifacts and
sit for a while in our layered site specific sonic cocoon.
Concurrently
the National Transport Museum of Ireland will be displaying a tram
and the passionate members will be on hand to answer any questions
relating to the disappeared trams on the hill of Howth.
Evening
time will transform the space for 2 Talks / Presentations.
Museum
restorationists will inform of the exciting history found on the Hill
of Howth Tram route. Followed by a talk from the Artists on their
practice & methods, including information on D.I.Y creation of
Audio listening devices.
Conclude
the evening on a SOUNDWALK
around the old route where you will have the opportunity to listen
for the diverse range of sounds that vibrate across this rugged
landscape.
“ We
hope that by inviting people on a soundwalk to finish the evening
they can make their own soundscape and even better, bring this
practice into their daily lives for enrichment and connection.
We
felt it only right that this beautiful landscape should be allowed to
speak her truths and for everyone to have a chance to simply
LISTEN to her speak”
