Description
The best-selling and award-winning Atlas of the Irish Revolution (Cork University Press) anchored the large-scale, freely-accessible exhibition, that brought dynamic UCC scholarship into a unique public space in the heart of Cork city. It ran in St Peter's, North Main Street in Cork from mid-May to mid-December 2019.
Funded by the Cork City Council Arts Office and designed by UCC's Dr Helene O'Keeffe, the exhibition explored key moments in the 1913-1923 period, touching on history, geography, art history, sociology and archaeology. It intertwines national, international, and distinctly Cork perspectives of Revolutionary Ireland through images and extended, informative panels. It was the one of a series of public outreach effort by the Atlas of the Irish Revolution project, that also included in 2019 the major documentary series ‘The Irish Revolution’ narrated by Cillian Murphy and produced by RTÉ Cork and UCC.
