Bealtaine 2013 - Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane
Dublin City Council Presents BEALTAINE 2013 Dublin City Arts Office Dublin City Public Libraries Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane Lord Mayor of Dublin’s Welcome Bealtaine is the Irish national arts festival celebrating creativity as we age. It takes place each May countrywide and involves thousands of participants in events in every art form. Taking its name from the ancient Celtic festival celebrating springtime, Bealtaine celebrates renewal, creativity and growth in ageing. Bealtaine is coordinated by Age & Opportunity – the national organisation working to promote greater participation by older people in society and has been running since 1996. The festival theme for 2013 is ‘Grow Happy’, inspired by WB Yeats’ quote: “Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing.” Dublin City Council’s Arts Office, Dublin City Public Libraries and Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane have produced a diverse and exciting programme of events for Bealtaine, which includes art, dance, music, film, theatre, literature, history and cultural interests. This year’s programme features Dance Across Dublin, a CoisCéim Broadreach performance which tours to various city venues. Another highlight of the festival not to be missed is a fantastic evening of music and song at the Guinness Storehouse, featuring renowned musician Paddy Cole. It is the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Dublin Lockout so why not visit Digging The Monto, an exhibition of photographs documenting tenement life in Dublin or attend a talk about the 1913 Lockout with archaeologist Dr. Thomas Kador. The LAB, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and Dublin City Libraries have developed a fun family drawing trail exploring the city’s buildings, for National Drawing Day on the 18th May, so why not pick up a worksheet from any of the venues and join the trail. I hope you will enjoy this years’ Dublin City Council Bealtaine programme and encourage you to get involved. It is a great chance to discover a hidden talent, explore your creative side and to share your love of drawing, dancing, film, theatre or music. Naoise Ó Muirí Lord Mayor of Dublin Bealtaine Ambassador The longer I am associated with the Bealtaine Festival as ambassador, the more I am convinced of it’s worth and usefulness. Long may it continue to encourage older people to get involved in creative activity of their own choosing. This year’s theme ‘Grow Happy’ sums it up. When we are growing we are happy, and while we are aging we do not have to stop growing. Go for it!

Digging the Monto Tenement archaeology and the 1913 Dublin Lockout A photographic exhibition by Dr Thomas Kador in association with Terry Fagan and Martin Coffey. Women in the Dublin Slums, 1901 History The Dublin Lockout was a landmark event in Irish history and set the scene for the struggle for Irish independence. 1913 also saw the housing crisis in Dublin’s infamous slums come to a head, with the collapse of two tenement buildings on Church Street. This exhibition explores daily life in one of the capital’s poorest areas, known as the Monto, in the early 20th century. It draws on the results of recent archaeological excavations, several photographic collections and historical census records. Following the success of its inaugural exhibition at The Lab arts centre, Digging the Monto will now tour to selected Dublin City branch libraries from May to October. For further information see www.dublincitypubliclibraries.ie Supported by the Heritage Council, the North Inner City Folklore Project, Dublin City Archives and the Royal Society of Antiquaries.

Memories and stories of the Irish and International performers who have appeared on this famous stage, family and friends of people who worked there and more 4 A photographic exhibition of Dublin Street Traders by Susan Weir. Selling goods from prams has a long tradition in Dublin. The unofficial Dublin anthem ‘Molly Malone’ is a musical tribute to such a street trader. The traders and their prams are part of what makes Dublin special, and prams loaded with whatever consumers will find tempting – fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers – are quietly wheeled into position each day on Dublin’s streets. The prams meanwhile have long since abandoned their role as baby carriages, but have found a new lease of life as picturesque mobile stalls. Prompted by a fear that the traders and their prams would disappear with ‘progress’, several years ago Dubliner Susan Weir began photographing them for posterity. This exhibition is composed of some of the images taken between 2008 and 2012. Susan has produced a book, Dublin’s Working Prams, which also tells some of the pram traders’ stories. Available in Dublin City Libraries, and most bookshops, it can also be obtained directly from the author by emailing dublinprams@gmail.com The exhibition will be on display in selected Dublin City branch libraries, during library opening hours, from April to September.

One of them was the culmination of Sir Hugh Lane’s simmering row with Dublin Corporation about the building of a permanent home for his newly founded Gallery of Modern Art. The lowest point in the row occurred when Lane withdrew the loan of his 39 paintings from the gallery and sent them to London’s National Gallery instead. This lecture will cover the row itself, London and Dublin’s reaction to it – and how the ramifications are still felt today. Presented by Ciaran Woods, art historian and lecturer. Date Venue Recollections of Dublin from the photographic collections in Dublin City Libraries. Join library staff in this special talk exploring Dublin City Public Libraries’ photographic collection of ‘Old Dublin’ and enjoy a nostalgic afternoon sharing your memories of the City. The photographs illustrate many aspects of Dublin life in the second half of the twentieth century including streets, buildings, shops, pubs, community events and most importantly Dubliners. In many cases all that remains of these times, people and places are photographs and your memories. Why not come along and take a stroll down Memory Lane.

My Home is Your Home will change all that. Equipped with notebook, biro, bicycle and, occasionally, a bus ticket, Mary Russell set off on her travels. Going to places such as Aleppo, Homs and Hama but also to some of the more remote parts of Eastern Syria, and taking, unexpectedly, an overnight taxi ride across the desert from Damascus to Baghdad. The result is an enthralling and quite unique account of this complex country. In My Home is Your Home, she employs the survival strategies of the solo traveller, seasoning a devil-maycare attitude with a pinch of common sense when taking on everything that comes her way in Syria – be it a pack of feral dogs, an important host or a chainsmoking Sufi sheik. www.maryrussell.info Literature Mary has generously torn herself away from rehearsals for the “Blow the Dust off your Trumpet” orchestra to discuss her travels and her book.
