BESCHREIBUNG

Wren Day, also known Lá an Dreoílín, is a traditional celebration that takes place on December 26th in various parts of Ireland, including Dingle, County Kerry. Traditionally, men and boys hunted a wren, who mysteriously has a reputation for treachery in Irish lore, and placed it on top of a staff or displayed it in a decorated box on top of a pole. This was paraded around the neighbourhood by a group of ‘Wrenboys’— typically dressed in straw masks, greenery and colourful motley clothes. They sang songs and played music in exchange for donations. The tradition of Lá an Dreoílín, is thriving in the town of Dingle, with residents of the town taking part in a number of Wren groups, parading around the town, while hundreds line the streets and join in the festivities.

For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.

You can find a list of all the TLP Editions here.
