In Person

“Air from another life and time and place.”

Join us for a cloud-skimming adventure at Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again. As we breeze gently through the exhibition, we will explore Heaney’s relationship with the element of air: a medium of revelation in which memory stirs, sound resonates, and the everyday brushes against the miraculous. This walking tour will highlight air as a force of nature, shaping landscapes and human experience; its vital role as a carrier of sound, light, and scent; and its union with the heavenly and transcendent, moments when the ordinary world seems to lift into wonder.
