Combining oral history, folklore and documentary records, the film "Nets of Memory" "(Líonta na Cuimhne") examines how 19th- to 21st-century Islanders from Inishark and Inishbofin, County Galway, Ireland, continued to make fishing nets and currachs once they migrated to America. The film explores how all migrants exist in a precarious space . . balanced between the reality of economics and potential of the present, and the cultural landscape, people, and memories of their past.
The directors, Keough-Naughton Institute Faculty Fellow Ian Kuijt in Anthropology and Bill Donaruma in Film, Television, and Theatre will be present for Q&A after the film.
