IMRAM Féile Litríochta Gaeilge
CEILIÚRADH AR SHAOTHAR AGUS AR SHAOL CHLÍODHNA CUSSEN
Rinne Clíodhna Cussen (1932-2022) – dealbhóir, péintéir, úrscéalaí, file – éacht i gcaitheamh a saoil agus chuir sí a croí agus a hanam i ngach rud a rinne sí.
Sampla iontach dá healaín phoiblí is ea An Chloch Fhada (1986) a sheasann san áit a dtagann Sráid an Phiarsaigh agus Sráid an Choláiste le chéile i mBaile Átha Cliath. Is ann a bhí cloch fhada ag na Lochlannaigh fadó chun nach rachadh a gcuid long i dtalamh ann. I measc a cuid úrscéalta tá An Eochair, cuntas ficsin ar Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill. Anocht déanann IMRAM ceiliúradh ceoil agus filíochta ar Chlíodhna.
