Welcome to the third in our series of Ory’Sta Talking on Tuam conversations, which takes as its theme Nomadic Archives.

This conversation is to allow us to start thinking together on how we ensure the culture of the Travelling Community is centred in Creative Places Tuam. How we include the artforms, stories and crafts of the Travelling community in Tuam – what spaces are available to us, what spaces are not, what spaces we need to imagine into being ourselves.

Welcome to the second in our series of Ory’Sta Talking on Tuam conversations. This time around, we’re delighted to welcome David Burke, editor of the Tuam Herald, and Tom Flanagan, artist, filmmaker and educator based in Galway. Creative Places Tuam is all about the place, the people, and the stories of Tuam and its hinterlands. How do we tell the story of ourselves, of our town, of our history? Both David and Tom have vast experience in telling stories, reporting, and giving voice to the community. We invited them to have a conversation with Keelin Murray, Create’s Communications and Publishing Manager, who herself has a keen interest in these questions.
