About this event

Our festival of new traditional and folk music pays tribute to Tim Robinson with a newly commissioned project. Tim Robinson was a hugely influential writer, artist & cartographer who made a lifetime study of the Aran Islands, the Burren & Connemara.

This special event centres on a new commission for Crash Ensemble by composer and Robinson collaborator Susan Stenger and features contributions from poet Moya Cannon, writer Fintan O’Toole, performer Olwen Fouéré, singers Ye Vagabonds and Treasa Ní Mhiolláin & Joe Heaney biographer Lillis Ó’Laoire and film director Pat Collins.

Our Time In Space evokes Robinson’s concept of the 'Connemara fractal’ and explores its intersection with the intricate contours of sean-nós singing and landscape.

Presented by NCH in partnership with The Arts Council.
