Really looking forward to this screening of Sinners. We're at maximum capacity (not a spare seat in the house!) There will be a waitlist, so if you're still hoping to join us, but don't yet have a ticket, please do come & see if there's room. If we can, we'll 'let you in' 😉

Happy New Year! (It's getting a bit late for that line, but we're keen to spread as much post-holiday cheer as we can, this "Blue Monday"!) We're delighted to say that the video featuring Aliyah, Colt, and Tom has just dropped: sharinglands.com/blog/ Enjoy & pls share!

Sharing Lands was delighted with - and rather blown away by - the crowds, the energy, & the enthusiasm @ the Festival of Migration, held @TheAlbanySE8 on Saturday, November 18. Huge thanks to everyone who participated, & the organisers (especially @willcenci & our Goldsmiths' RKE colleagues).

On All Soul's Day, Irish people lit candles on graves, left food for the dead, & were in communication with the ancestors. Meanwhile, evil spirits were warded against (carved turnips being especially good guardians! Over time, pumpkins were used in the US). #interconnectedness #enduringtraditions

On Samhain, & ahead of Día de los Muertos, we wanted to share a picture of the ofrenda (altar) on show @BriscoeMuseum. Complex, palimpsestic, layering's of pre-Christian & Catholic traditions are evident in both Irish & Indigenous cultures. Aztec culture honoured the dead in a month-long festival.

A picture of an ofrenda (altar) showing brightly painted skulls, pictures of deceased relatives & ansestors, and brightly coloured orange & red fabrics & flowers.

Corpus Christi is a great place to consider the roles that Irish empresario's like James Power and James Hewetson played in US history after the passing of the "Law for Promoting Colonization in the State of Coahuila and Texas," March 24, 1825.

Corpus Christi: Irish children of the 1980s (ie some of the Sharing Lands team!) may associate Corpus Christi with something other than beautiful coastlines! (irishtimes.com/culture/heri...) Happily, our recent trip changed that, & immersed us in yet more fascinating, often challenging, histories...

We've lots to share about our recent trip to Texas, & want to start with the Limerick-Frazier house in Austin. Designed by Joseph Limerick, who was born in 1798 & left Ireland in 1850, the house was bought by John & Laura Allman Frazier in 1905.
