The Museum of Literature Ireland is proud to announce the relaunch of its flagship digital project, RadioMoLI.
A vast and ever-growing digital archive for Irish literature, RadioMoLI features hundreds of audio recordings, video and images, all of which are free and accessible. First launched in February 2019 – several months before the museum opened its doors for the first time – the platform has been completely redesigned and rebuilt, to create an open and vital new home for literature on a national and international scale.
RadioMoLI will continue to grow its collection, combining in-house productions and live broadcasts with media from partners in the Irish literature community. A vast archive, the collection includes podcasts, lectures, readings, discussion, commissioned films, digital exhibitions and much more. Highlights include the MoLI-produced Writer Presents series, in-depth interviews with contemporary writers such as Anne Enright and Frank McGuinness, or the museum’s long-running Past/Present/Pride series.
To celebrate an exciting future for RadioMoLI, the museum is hosting a rich evening of discussion, reading and song. Hosted at the museum with both a live audience and streamed online, the event features musicians Julia Spanu (song) and Elsa Kelly (harp); writer Henrietta McKervey; and a panel discussion about the art of digital storytelling including Sinéad Clandillon (Head of Content, Ebow Digital), Jennifer Forde (producer of West Cork, Havana Helmet Club), Zoë Comyns (producer of The Prompt, Marconi and Me), David Douglas (MD, Ebow Digital) and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly (MoLI).
Presented in partnership with Ebow Digital. The relaunch of RadioMoLI was made possible by funding from the DOORS Digital Incubator for Museums, a programme designed to support the digitalisation of museums across Europe, and with the support of Ebow Digital and the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
