About this listen
Returning guest, Naas-born visual and performance artist Rónán Ó Raghallaigh.
Rónán’s work moves between indigenous Irish art and ritual action, and after a few years it was time for Luke to catch up with an old friend.
Fire throwing Fairies , Swords from Arabia, Headless horsemen and Faction Fights. This episode goes far beyond the Naas Ball.
In his new work Turais Taibhsí (“Haunted Pilgrimages”), Ó Raghallaigh translates personal pilgrimages to sacred Irish sites into layered painting and performance. Each work is rooted in on‑site research into folklore, place‑names and archaeology, and reflects how these landscapes have been altered - by colonialism, by religion and by industrial extraction.
The boys discuss how the quarrying a sacred mount like the Hill of Allen isn’t just industrial change but a violation of a spiritually‑charged place...the burial ground of Fionn mac Cumhaill.
