Are you interested in reimagining a citizen’s manifesto for Clonmel? As part of the Reflections series in partnership with Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, Sean Taylor invites the public of Clonmel to create a twelve-point Clonmel Community Manifesto inspired by the stories and events that have shaped the people of the town during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The points may be valuable lessons, positive affirmations, revelations, anecdotes or reflections that individuals have experienced during this ‘new normal’. The twelve most engaging proposals will be combined to make the manifesto, will be printed on a mobile billboard advertisement and will then be driven around Clonmel during the Festival for all the citizens of the town to reflect upon.

Sean Taylor received his primary Diploma in Fine Art, from Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork, Ireland in 1982. Awarded an MA in Fine Art from the University of Ulster in Belfast in 1983, he received a Postgraduate Scholarship from The Kunstenacademie, Rotterdam, Holland in 1989. In 2013 he completed a Deep Listening Certificate Programme, with American contemporary music composer Pauline Oliveros at the Deep Listening Institute, Kingston, New York, USA. Sean completed a PhD at Limerick Institute of Technology, School of Art and Design in 2019.
