A Collaboration between UCC’s Music Department and UCC Library. 

May to August 2025: Public Exhibition - Free & open to all 

Q Floor - UCC Library

This exhibition presents artistic responses to UCC Library’s Special Collections created by students of UCC Music’s MA Experimental Sound Practice (MAESP). The students explored the rich archival content of the Collections, which includes photographs, texts, maps, and other rare materials; through creative, critical engagement with selected materials, each student has created an artwork that reimagines and reinterprets our engagement with the past.
