RE-VAMPING THE CLASSICS

By Cian Pierce   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on October 29, 2021October 28, 2021

By Cian Pierce The Classics are back with a vengeance. The study of the ancient world, it’s cultures and histories seemed to be doomed to die a slow and silent death but recently there has been a Vesuvius-sized explosion of translations, adaptations and re-imaginings of the ancient works. For lovers of ancient literature, it has…

CREATIVE BLOCK IS A BITCH

By Cian Pierce   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on October 29, 2021October 28, 2021

Cian Pierce   We’ve all been there: you’ve sat down to do your assignment, write an essay, start painting a piece, etc. but you can’t find it in you to just start. Creative block is a bitch, but to give it a proper definition, creative block can be described as an “inability to access one’s…

POET’S CORNER and BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

By Cian Pierce   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on October 16, 2021

By Cian Pierce From this week on, I will be sharing a poem from each of the poets in the list above. This isn’t to say that you can’t still submit your own work though, there is more than enough space to include everyone!  This week’s featured poem is ‘The Tale of the Vulnerable’ by…

NEW IRISH POETS

By Cian Pierce   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on October 16, 2021

By Cian Pierce   Ireland is a nation of poets, always has been and always will be. We are all familiar with the bigger figures of Irish poetry, Ni Chuilleanain, Boland, Heany, Yeats, etc; but we should not ignore the new up and coming generation of poets. Below is a list of biographies of eleven…

POET’S CORNER

By Cian Pierce   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on September 30, 2021

By Cian Pierce Starting with this issue I would like to introduce a sub-section for Arts and Literature called ‘Poet’s Corner’. I’ll be using this section to share my favourite poems mainly by Irish authors, but I might also share book recommendations, information on upcoming events in UCC and throughout Cork etc. Arts and Lit…

SPONSORING THE ARTS

By Cian Pierce   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on September 30, 2021

By Cian Pierce   Should the arts even be sponsored? Dublin’s historic and iconic Olympia Theatre is the latest landmark to take on a corporate sponsor following the announcement of a partnership with Three. The mobile company is to rename the historic building the ‘3Olympia Theatre’, quite frankly missing an opportunity to name it “The…

Coming Together Again

By Cian Pierce   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on September 17, 2021

By Cian Pierce This September classes and events will return to being held on campus for the most part. While the past year introduced many new creative solutions and outlets for students to share their appreciation for and engage with art and literature, for example, UCC Dramat Society’s “Wish You Were Here”, UCC Musical Theatre…

Is the Theatre Disappearing?  

By Imasha Costa   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on April 1, 2021

By Imasha Costa, Arts & Literature Editor  It’s ironic how a few lyrics from one of my favourite musicals define the past year, and how  time cannot be measured, especially for those who have been silenced by the shutdown of  theatres all across the world (well, except Australia). Rent, an award-winning musical by  Jonathan Larson…

Finding a Voice and Community through Zines  

By Julie Landers   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on April 1, 2021April 1, 2021

By Julie Landers During the first lockdown, I made a zine about toast. It was something small, nothing that would cause a seismic shift in bread-eating discourse. But it was the act of concentrating on  something that I liked, slowly cutting and glueing together a small handbook of sorts, that  provided a sense of profound…

Women in Visual Art: The Gap and Running Small Businesses  

By Imasha Costa   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on March 19, 2021

By Imasha Costa, Arts & Literature Editor  Art has always been placed as a male-centred form of expression where the male gaze is  represented, and the pieces that are famous are usually those of men. With the surge of social  media outlets like Instagram and Twitter, visual art has evolved itself, which has further allowed …
