I got to visit the Cultúrlann Aonach Mhacha last night in Armagh to listen to some tunes. Was a great vibe. Took some photos from around the building while I was at it.
Map of Tír Cholm Cille, celebrating the legacy of St. Colmcille (St. Columba) and the shared Gaelic heritage of Ireland and Scotland. The map features Ireland and Scotland, with place names written in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, highlighting the regions historically associated with the saint and his influence. Key locations include Donegal (Tír Chonaill) in Ireland, closely linked to Colmcille’s birthplace, and the Scottish islands, particularly Iona, where Colmcille founded a renowned monastery. The map showcases the strong linguistic and cultural connections between the two regions, promoting the preservation and celebration of Gaelic traditions. Decorative elements include a logo and title in Gaelic script, with a historical and cultural narrative about Colmcille’s impact. Designed as part of an initiative to honour Gaelic heritage, this map serves as an educational and cultural artifact, emphasising the importance of language, history, and shared identity in the regions of Ireland and Scotland. Perfect for heritage displays, language revival efforts, or educational purposes. Hand-painted traditional drum featuring an artistic depiction of a large eagle in flight, with detailed feathers and a small crowned wren perched on its back. The drum is encircled by a handwritten Irish inscription reading 'Inbhe Dreolin Ard Mhacha,' translating to 'The Wren of Armagh,' referencing Irish folklore and cultural symbolism. The artwork emphasises the contrast between the powerful eagle and the small but significant wren, reflecting themes of strength, wisdom, and legacy. The drum is displayed in a modern museum or cultural exhibition setting, with a backdrop of glass and informational plaques, highlighting its cultural and historical significance. Display case featuring a collection of books and literature related to Irish mythology and folklore, with a prominent comic-style book cover titled 'Celtic Warrior: The Legend of Cú Chulainn' by Will Sliney, depicting a muscular warrior holding a sword and shield in dynamic artwork. Surrounding items include classic texts like 'The Táin' translated by Thomas Kinsella, 'Laochas' by Séamus Ó Searcaigh, and vintage editions of works exploring the mythology of Cú Chulainn, such as 'Cuchulainn: An Epic-Drama of the Gael' from 1925. The arrangement emphasises the blend of traditional and modern interpretations of Irish legendary tales, showcasing the enduring cultural significance of heroic figures like Cú Chulainn. Painting of Macha, a legendary figure from Irish mythology, depicted as a powerful and elegant woman with flowing red hair. She wears a white dress cinched with a belt, complemented by a richly decorated red cloak adorned with intricate patterns resembling peacock feathers. Her expression is resolute, with a piercing gaze that reflects her strength and sovereignty. Macha is one of the three aspects of the Morrígan and is associated with war, fertility, and the land. The artwork captures her commanding presence and mythical significance, displayed against a minimalist background to emphasize her figure.
