Shine On: Brigit at Barnardo Square

This event has ended

Barnardo Square, Friday 31st January - Monday 3rd February

Experience the iconic facades of Dublin’s GPO on O’Connell Street and the Palace Building on Barnardo Square like never before. These architectural landmarks come alive with stunning projections in honour of Brigit, the goddess of inspiration, creativity, and renewal.

Creative duo Jill & Gill return with Brigit: Boundless & Radical II, a powerful visual exploration of Brigit’s enduring legacy, blending vibrant imagery with thought-provoking themes. Alongside them, award-winning illustrator Paula McGloin presents Brigit: Spring Rising, captures the essence of renewal and transformation, with “Spring” symbolising new beginnings, growth, and the season of rebirth. “Rising” speaks to Brigit’s power, strength, and the cyclical nature of life.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see Dublin illuminated with art that honours both the ancient and the modern, celebrating the boundless strength of Brigit in all her forms. Join us for an unforgettable evening where history, mythology, and art converge in light.

Presented as part of Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women, a Dublin City Council funded initiative.
