Irish audio producers Zoë Comyns & Regan Hutchins are collaborating on a storytelling project related to water. It’s called The Water Library where objects on shelves tell stories about water around the world.

 

We’d like you to join us. We’re asking you to record a very short audio piece about a river, lake, pond, puddle, leaky tap, giant flood, ocean, wave, drought, thirst, teardrop or bodily fluids. You could record an interview, a script, an original poem, song or story. You could record a short feature with multiple voices. These stories may range from lyrical writing celebrating the natural world to addressing the urgent climate crisis. 

 

You will send us an object related to this story, ideally a small bottle with the water of your story but the object could be from the location - a stone, a feather or a mudlarked treasure. When the visitor to the library chooses this object, they will hear your story.

Your story can be on any theme related to water. 

 

A duration guide would be 1-3 minutes but we would be happy to feature longer pieces. If you are unsure about how to record we can guide you for your location recording and record remotely with you for your written contribution. 

​

 

SUBMISSIONS FOR THE WATER LIBRARY ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED - We will reopen them again in the near future.
