Centre Screen are delighted to be working with Bright 3D on an exciting project for Pearse’s Cottage and Connemara Centre in Ros Muc, South Connemara, due for completion later this year. The centre will be located on a site adjacent to the existing Pearse’s Cottage and offer experiences centred around the language and landscapes that have shaped lives and history in the West and beyond.

Patrick Pearse came to Ros Muc as an examiner for Conradh na Gaeilge and was so entranced with the area’s geography, language and culture that he decided to build a home here.

From 1903 until his death in 1916, Pearse spent many summers in the cottage, using it as an educational centre for Dublin school children, and as a sanctuary for his own writing and political planning. Visitors will learn about Pearse and his legacy, in addition to Connemara’s rich and vibrant Gaeltacht culture and language.

Centre Screen are producing a number of AV and multimedia interactive exhibits for the Centre, to be available in Irish and English languages. This will include touchscreen interpretation exploring the history of the Irish language, contemporary Irish-language media, Pearse’s writings and legacy, a touch table interactive map covering Connemara and the origins of local place names, and evocative large-scale projected AV content celebrating the local Gaeltacht music, dance, community and culture.
