10 Mar 2010 ‘Man of Aran’

This film intended to portray 20th-century contemporary life on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland, but it transformed into a dramatized account of what life was like there almost 100 years before. The hostile, harsh conditions that the people had to endure are documented. Dr. Skip Stewart-Abernathy of the Arkansas Archeological Survey Station at Winthrop Rockefeller Institute will discuss his research related to the expansion and transformations of cultures across the British Isles. Admission is free. Visit www.uawri.org for more information or call 501.727.6219.
