"Listening Posts"Penrose Quay, Cork

• Perose Quay was the traditional departure point
  of boats from the city.
• The posts broadcast four sound scores featuring
  interviews with emigrants, their descendents,
  those they left behind, ship workers, those
  wishing to return and those who are glad they got
  away.
• The piece explores not only emigration from
  Cork, but also broad themes of migration,
  displacement, and self-reinvention.
