SUMMARY:Mail Club Práta
DESCRIPTION:Some of the best ideas are old ones. On Wednesday May 13th\, The American Irish Historical Society hosts the launch of The Mail Club Práta\, an analog folklore pamphlet about histories of Irish songs in America. The Mail Club Práta is the creation of literary artist and folk musician Melanie Beth Curran. The monthly mailer is Curran’s act of creative resistance and remembering\, a means to restore slowness and depth in the way historical material is experienced. The evening will feature a concert and storytelling from Curran\, a special display of musical materials from the AIHS archives\, and the launch of The Mail Club Práta itself. Attendees can expect light refreshments and are encouraged to dress up as gallantly and Irishly as they are inspired to. This will prove to be a memorable evening in a beautiful space. Newcomers to the American Irish Historical Society are encouraged to visit and explore! \nMelanie Beth Curran is a literary artist and folk musician collecting and performing the lost songs of Irish America. Her work is devoted to remembering and enshrining living traditions in the digital age\, through analog mediums like zines\, performance with banjo\, guitar and voice\, and creative approaches to folklore collection. Curran holds an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School in Manhattan and was a Fulbright research fellow to Bretagne\, France. \nwww.melaniebethcurran.com\nIG Social link: @the_melaissance
