Overview

Ireland has changed at a dizzying pace. Many of the old touchstones of Irish culture—rural folkways, powerful religious identities, a strong sense of being oppressed and marginalised—have lost their grip. Yet, for Irish people both at home and in the diaspora, the idea of belonging to a common culture still has a powerful meaning. What is that meaning? Do we need to have a single answer? How does tradition shape our sense of ourselves in a transformed world? And why do spaces like Irish Arts Center matter?
One of the world’s most admired columnists and critics, Fintan O’Toole, author of We Don’t Know Ourselves, returns to IAC for a special public lecture and Q&A. Reception and book signing to follow.
“A rich, nuanced picture of Irish life”—The Guardian on We Don't Know Ourselves
