Cuala Foundation hasn't added a story.
I'm Susan McKeown, a musician and also the executive director of Cuala (Kool-ah) Foundation. Our organization was founded in 2016 to create innovative projects to engage people in the US and Ireland with history and culture. We launched with CualaNYC (www.cuala.nyc), a six week festival with 25 events in 4 of New York's boroughs that commemorated New York and Ireland's shared history of the 1916 Rising and celebrated New York Irish connections. We have been invited to other locations for 2017.
'New York Rising' is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel that tells stories of that remarkable but largely untold history of New York and Ireland's shared history of the 1916 Rising. The graphic novel tells stories of Irish women immigrants, of Connolly's time in New York, and how people such as Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Marcus Garvey, Cyril Briggs, and poets Joyce Kilmer and Claude McKay were inspired by The Rising and its leaders to organize, write and to make their voices heard in creative ways.
'New York Rising' was written by Grammy-winning Irish artist Susan McKeown in collaboration with The Nerve Centre in Derry, Ireland.
In partnership with Professor Pat Dolan, UNESCO Ireland Chair of Children, Youth and Civic Engagement,' New York Rising' will be the focus of a Cuala Foundation collaborative research project between youth groups in Ireland and the U.S. in 2017.
Please support the production costs of this exciting project to engage youth with stories of the past and invite their creative engagement today.
Thank you.
