Opening Night at The United Irish Cultural Center
San Francisco

Picture
It was so lovely to receive a mail from Liam Reidy at the United Irish Cultural Center this week with photographs of the opening night of my recent photographic exhibition "Children of the Free State". Thank you again to Culture Ireland for their invaluable support.
The exhibition genuinely seemed to bring a little bit of home to the Irish diaspora in the U.S. whilst also strengthening Ireland’s connections with the Irish abroad. It also offered a real insight to Irish culture and shared some of the wisdom of our older generation.

 "Children of the Free State" announcements

So grateful to the The Irish Herald in San Francisco and the United Irish Cultural Center bulletin for their promotions in their March 2022 editions about my Photographic show "Children of the Free State" @ United Irish Cultural Center. We had a wonderful attendance over the St. Patrick's festivities. Huge thank you also to Culture Ireland for their support in bringing this cultural export to the United States.

"Children of the Free State" goes to the USA

So delighted to have been invited to show this body of work at the United Irish Cultural Center in San Francisco in March 2022 as part of the St. Patrick's day celebrations in the city. This body of work, which is a series of portraits of elderly rural people from Co. Laois, is an artistic overview of the disappearing way of rural Irish life in the 21st Century. Using photography and film it focuses on how the process of documentation and storytelling can itself create space, physically and emotionally, for real dialogue and to tell peoples stories - past and present.

The show was originally planned for March 2020 but for pandemic reasons it was postponed until 2022.

It's production wouldn't  have been possible however with out the generous support of FBD insurance and Creative Laois, and it would never have made its way as a cultural export to the United States without the assistance of Culture Ireland and their invaluable support in promoting the Irish arts abroad.
