The Workshop
Welcome to the Sweeney Workshop!
This research and creation seminar took place over a decade (2012-2022) at the University of Perpignan Via Domitia, France, within the “Crossways in Cultural Narratives” Erasmus Mundus Programme.
Please meet with Suibhne Geilt, discover the artworks created by several promotions of students around this mythical figure, browse through a wealth of academic and artistic resources, immerse yourself into the myth, then put your own talent to the test!

Read about my adventures in a Middle Irish romance entitled Buile Suibhne (“The Frenzy of Sweeney”)…
