| Stairseach (fem.) meaning threshold, barrier, stone step. Join us for a special evening with Susannah Stark, our Romhainn artist in residence, who will share songs and soundscapes from her week working in Taigh Chearsabhagh. Susannah has been exploring thresholds, places where we cross and exchange, finding mentions in archive accounts of Gàidhlig writing by women including Màiri NicLeòid. Working between media and languages, intertonguing (from the Gàidhlig term for translation – eadar-theangaich) and interdisciplinary, Susannah’s work in Gallery 1 spans song, soundscapes, drawing, and spatial interventions. We will gather on Monday 24th February, at 7.00pm in Gallery 1 using the side door entrance, up the stone steps on the eastern side of Taigh Chearsabhagh. This event is presented as part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig, and concludes Susannah’s time in Loch nam Madadh. Find out more about Susannah’s residency and exhibition on the main Romhainn event page here. With special thanks to the Crown Estate Revenue Fund, Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Hands up For Trad for making this opportunity and event possible.
