About the Project:
The Things Around Us’ is a community-collection project exploring the objects in the hands of ordinary people that reveal the social history of Kilanerin and Co. Wexford. The project was been devised by artist/folklorist Michael Fortune in conjunction with David Williams and Conor Murphy from Kilanerin Tidy Towns, and during the month of June 2025 they hosted a series of pop-up road-show styled sessions in Kilanerin Hall and inviting people to bring their object along to tell Michael and the team all about it.
The project centred around people and the objects and Michael and the team created a space where they could bring forward objects to share their stories and spark memories and conversations with neighbours and friends.
The sessions took place over four days in June:
Sunday the 8th of June (12pm - 3pm)
Thursday the 12th of June (6.30pm to 9.30pm)
Sunday the 15th of June (12pm - 3pm)
Sunday the 22nd of June (12pm - 3pm)
The project was kindly supported by the Arts Department of Wexford County Council via their 'Creative Communities Scheme'.
