Visit this temporary exhibition by young artists Mark Harmon and Aoife O’Connor which celebrates the community of O’Devaney Gardens (ODG) in Dublin 7. The exhibition features photographs and video capturing the flat complex in its final days, juxtaposed with portraits of former and local residents. A series of interviews with residents discuss the portrayal of O’Devaney Gardens in the media, their hopes for the future and their memories of ODG as a vibrant community. Through this exhibition the artists wanted to show, in their words, that ‘ODG’ wasn’t a ‘bad’ place to grow up. The exhibition is supported by the MOST Garda Youth Diversion Project and artist Shireen Shortt. A special talk with the artists will take place on Monday 15th April at the Museum, see separate listing for more information.
