In 2022, Martina Hamilton of Hamilton Gallery in Sligo invited Irish poet Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin to write a poem in honour of St. Brigit’s Day which eighty-six Irish women artists would then use as inspiration for works of art. The result was the poem “St. Brigid’s Well,” which was translated into Chinese as part of a program of cultural exchange between Sligo and China. The video “St. Brigid’s Well” features a reading of the poem in English by Anna and Ellen Hamilton and in Chinese by Liu Zhiling.
In the second video, "St Brigids Well. A new poem by Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin,” Susan McKay interviews Ní Chuilleanáin about the new poem, the project, and more in an excerpt from a longer interview. For the full interview, go to "St Brigid's Well - Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin in interview with Susan MacKay.”
