The Treaty, 1921: Records from the Archives

The Treaty, 1921: Records from the Archives

This event has ended

Dublin Castle, Tuesday 7th December - Sunday 27th March

The National Archives preserves the memory of the state in the form of its records. It acquires and protects Ireland’s public records, thereby ensuring their availability as a resource for all. These records relate to the social, cultural, economic and political history of the island of Ireland from the middle ages through to the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 and into the modern era. Amongst its collections is perhaps the most famous document in Irish history: the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. It is appropriate that the National Archives should mark the centenary of the signing of the Treaty by presenting a major exhibition of records in its possession relating to the negotiation and signing of the Treaty. Using the Treaty itself as the centrepiece, this exhibition places significant documents from the collections of the National Archives on public display for the first time. This exhibition forms part of the National Archives Commemorations Programme 2021–2, marking the National Archives’ role as the official repository of the records of the state. It is presented in partnership with the Royal Irish Academy, the National Library of Ireland and the Office of Public Works, with records on display from the collections of the Military Archives, Dublin, and University College Dublin Archives.

One arrived in Belgium from Iraq; the other from the United States. Together, they share their concerns about the state of things — echo chambers, cancel culture, our cosmic insignificance, and the growing rift between worldviews that makes coexistence seem impossible. From there, they dance in search

Theatre Room: Food For Thought – A Daylight Performance Symposium

Smock Alley Theatre

Are we ok? Exploring theatre as a place to feel, to hear, to breathe, to touch and to doubt together. The artists, Fióna Bolger, Tara Bredemeier, James Hosty, David Ferreira-Alves and Maud Hendricks, with the audience, upend and reimagine the conventions of theatre anew. Theatre serves here as a place to relate to our uncanny human existences addressing the collective unconscious at a time when violence and grief are undeniable aspects of our experiences. In this Performance Symposium we will collapse the borders between the internal human experience and the external lived experience —
