‘Freebird MCC Project ’

‘Freebird’s MCC Project’ is a socially engaging project that involves male members of The Freebird’s Motorcycle Club from county Longford. Together we have been awarded the project realisation award by Create & the Arts council to support a year long project where we will co-create work in film, archive & sculpture based on our shared histories.

Having lost three of our club members to road traffic accident’s we have experienced the same colossal amount of grief. The group is made up of three of my brothers and seven more surrogate brothers. As the little sister of this motorbike club I can see how these men suffer their losses in silence.

This project is an opportunity for the club members to tell their story while engaging in different processes of art making that are new to them. Each of the men are highly skilled tradesmen who are interested in using these skills in a creative context.
