In my first year at university, I worked on a project centred on the “regulars” at a local Irish centre. It was a photographic study on Irish immigrants from the 1950s and their personal memories from their homeland and consequent ‘new life’ in England. I particularly enjoyed this project and was encouraged to work on it at the latter stages of the degree, hence the content of this blog!
I am still not 100% sure of the format I intend to take though I am pretty sure it will run along the lines of second generation Irish paralleled with the original Irish immigrants: ie mother/father – son/daughter. I will have a better idea of the final project once I have talked to my tutors. If this does ultimately become the format that I use, I think I would prefer to work with people that I know as I feel that I will get more out of them. I also intend to concentrate on possibly five families maximum and spend more time with them. I had previously worked with more people and I think that I need to condense the quantity in order to achieve a higher quality for my finals.
