Exhibitions

The new exhibition is Three Stones: The Cross and the Circle, which shows how three stones outside Westport conceal a story long lost in time.

Folklore records that many of the megalithic stones of Mayo are more than six thousand years ago. So we decided to investigate. It turns out that these stones show plainly some extraordinarily practical details: how to navigate at night using the Southern Cross and the stars of Centaurus, constellations last visible in Ireland over six thousand years ago.

IrieLand's new exhibition opens on Thursday 21 September 2023 in Westport.

IrieLand's first exhibition series is The Reggae Movement: Soundsystem from Jamaica to Europe 1955-1990, first shown at Yaam in Berlin in 2011 with text in English and German and featuring the artwork of Mau Mau and Michael 'Freestylee' Thompson. The exhibition has subsequently been printed with Polish, French and Swahili translations.
