TCD Alumni Society of Paris

UCD Alumni Picnic this Sunday 4 June from 13h 😌 Invitation kindly extended to TCD Alumni who wanna catch up- See you all there 🙂

Interesting event for TCD Alumni in France-The Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute, at Trinity College Dublin, and the Cercle Littéraire Irlandais are delighted to partner for the first time and bring to your home the virtual recreation of the Exposition l’Art Irlandais, which opened in January 1922 at the Galerie Barbazanges in Paris. We invite you to a virtual tour of the recreated exhibition guided by Dr Ciaran O’Neill and Dr Billy Shortall, the researchers on the “Seeing Ireland” project.

Early-twentieth-century visitors may have been surprised by the diversity and richness of showcased materials, from Evelyn Gleeson’s arts and crafts to Arthur Daley’s music, alongside the Yeats brothers’ literature and paintings, in addition to other artefacts, concerts and performances covering areas including the Irish visual and creative arts, language, sport, religion, economics and agriculture.

This seminal presentation of modern Irish art to the French public was sponsored by the new Irish Free State and played a significant role on the international stage: on the one hand, in the construction of a distinct Irish identity, and on the other hand, in the promotion of Irish culture and values. The “Seeing Ireland” project restores the cultural, political, and diplomatic importance of the event, while presenting an alternative narrative of Irishness, and providing access to, and expertise on, over a 100 of the 280 artworks originally exhibited.

We hope that you will join us in this immersive commemoration of the Irish Parisian event, enabled by the sponsorship of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media. We are grateful for the support of the French Embassy in Ireland and the Irish Embassy in France. This event is completely free, but registration is mandatory.
