Culture Night at the Hardiman Library
Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:00:00 IST - Fri, 18 Sep 2015 21:00:00 IST, 17.00
At Hardiman Building Foyer
Organised by James Hardiman Library
Join the exhibition curators, Adrian Paterson and Barry Houlihan, and special guests, for a series of talks and guided tours of the ‘Yeats and the West’ exhibition and discover, in this anniversary year of Yeats2015, what the west meant to Yeats and what this might mean to us.
Through images, words, film, and sound, with touchscreens and rich display cases sourced from NUI Galway and archives around the world, featuring rare material from Yeats, J.M. Synge, and Lady Gregory, and original artwork from Jack B. Yeats, Gerard Dillon, and Fergus Bourke, ‘Yeats & the West’ tells anew an old story: a story of going west to find those places, real and imaginative, that change our sense of where and who we are.
Tours and talks begin at 5pm and occur on the hour.
