Gaelic across the Atlantic

Saturday 25th November

3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Catrìona NicÌomhair Parsons is a native Gaelic speaker who moved from Lewis to Cape Breton in the 1970s; Beth Frieden crossed the Atlantic in reverse, from the US to Scotland. Both of them now write in Gaelic. Tune in to hear them read and discuss ideas of home and place, language and identity with Peter Mackay.

This event is fully in Gaelic and will not be translated into English.

Sponsored by the Gaelic Book Council.

This event will both be available to at home audiences, who will be sent a link to join in advance, and screened as a remote event in the Red Lecture Theatre for people attending the rest of the festival in person who don’t want to miss out.

Thig còmhla ri Pàdraig MacAoidh, Catriona Nicìomhair Parsons agus Beth Frieden airson feasgar de bhàrdachd Gàidhlig bho Alba agus Ameireagaidh.

Tha Catriona NicÌomhair Parsons à Leòdhas ach rinn i imrich a Cheap Breatainn sna 70an; agus thàinig Beth Frieden a-nall bho Ameireagaidh a dh’Alba ann an 2008. Tha an dithis aca a’ sgrìobhadh bàrdachd sa Ghàidhlig. Èist riutha a’ leughadh is a’ bruidhinn mun bhàrdachd aca, dachaigh, cànan is fèin-aithne le Pàdraig MacAoidh. Bidh an tachartas seo sa Ghàidhlig a mhàin. Le taic bho Chomhairle nan Leabhraichean.

Bidh an tachartas ri fhaotainn air-loidhne (agus gheibhear ceangal chun tachartas ro làimh), agus air an làthair, san t-Seòmar Òraid Dearg aig Summerhall.
