PROTEST! Artists & Curators Tour

No Booking required, all welcome!
This informal walking tour with artists and curators will give a unique insight into the relationship between photography and protest in Ireland, outlining a broad range of photographic practices from the late 1960s to the present day.
PROTEST! features work by Irish and international photojournalists, social documentary photographers, socially-engaged artists, citizen journalists, and activists together with photographs from leading newspapers and NGOs, many exhibited here for the first time.
Dramatic images of conflict shown alongside photographs documenting individual actions and collective protests combine to reflect different vantage points and perspectives, giving an insight into the often protracted nature of resistance.
