The Archive Within Us

This event has ended

Richmond Barracks, Thursday 9th January - Saturday 18th January

Join Richmond Barracks for The Archive Within Us, an exhibition of personal histories, made by a group of people in Dublin in collaboration with visual artist Claire Halpin and poet Colm Keegan.

They asked “what do we choose to remember, and why?” and developed their own collection of personal stories, personal objects, poems and fragments of cherished moments. Visit the exhibition to hear their stories and share your own.

The group met as part of The National Neighbourhood, a cultural programme that connects communities, artists and villages with libraries, museums and creative places across Dublin city. Through this deep dive into culture, a shared interest in history emerged and the group began to look at how the national historic records intertwine with our own personal histories. This is an invitation to reflect on what we say about what we remember, and why.
