The next Burrenbeo March Tea Talk will take place this Wednesday (March 20th).
‘The Life and Legacy of the Tim Robinson Archive in the Anthropocene’ with Nessa Cronin will begin at 8.00pm in Tubber Village Hall.
Tim Robinson, the English writer, cartographer, mathematician, artist and illustrator who spent more than 40 years chronicling the west of Ireland, made a series of beautiful and intricate maps of the Aran Islands, the Burren and of Connemara.
He called ‘’These richly detailed yet marginalised landscapes, “the ABC of earth wonders”. To discuss the extraordinary work of Tim Robinson, and considerations on his life and legacy in terms of living in a time of climate change and biodiversity crisis, we will be joined by Dr Nessa Cronin.
Items from the Tim Robinson Archive and associated landscape materials from the University Library will be on display and illustrated at this talk. Nessa is Associate Professor in Irish Studies at the Centre for Irish Studies, School of Geography, Archaeology and Irish Studies, University of Galway.
All welcome, suggested donation of 5 euros for the upkeep of the hall. Kettle will be on from 7:30pm if you would like to grab a cuppa and the talk will start at 8pm at Tubber hall.
