young men and
women who
emigrated from
Kiltimagh, Bohola

surrounding
areas during the
1950s. "

The focus of the
memorial is a
raised stone from
Penrose Quay in
Cobh Harbour.
"Listening Posts"Penrose Quay, Cork
Perose Quay was the
traditional departure
point of boats from the
city.
The posts broadcast
four sound scores
featuring interviews
with emigrants, their
descendents, those they
left behind, ship
workers, those wishing
to return and those who
are glad they got away.
The piece explores not
only emigration from
Cork, but also broad
themes of migration,
displacement, and self-
reinvention.
