Summary:

In 1932, the Eucharistic Congress skywriting over Dublin was a glorious spectacle. In 2011, in a changed culture a theatre company occupied a convent to bear witness to live lost inside. If every artwork tells a story, 100 years of artworks can tell the history of a nation. From 1916 and James Joyce's embattled debut novel to 2015 and the shy heroism of performers with disabilities, modern Ireland's coming-of-age is narrated here through painting, sculpture, novels, theatre, poetry, architecture and installation.
