Thurs 20 Feb-CRETE – Memorialising the Sacred:
sound and architecture defining the landscape
Presentation featuring photography and sound recordings from churches and shrines of Crete.

Anthony Kelly, Seán McCrum, Paddy Sammon, David Stalling POSTER

The churches and shrines of Loutro and Anopolis, on the island of Crete, define their landscape, creating a very specific and complex network of buildings which, in turn, is a significant part of how local people define who they are and their relationship to where they are. These buildings incorporate remembrance as active memorialising, as part of enriching present–day existence.

From the confines of a closely defined geographical area in Crete, the resonances are universal, particularly in an Irish context where for centuries sacred sites have been place-markers and place-makers.

Memorialising the Sacred: sound and architecture defining the landscape seeks to explore, through the medium of photography, objects and, sound, an aspect of a broad, shared, architectural inheritance.
