Free but ticketed event.
In May 1916, the Royal Irish Academy expelled Eoin MacNeill from its membership after he was sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in the 1916 Rising. However, the Academy had played a major role in the preservation and revival of Gaelic culture, and McNeill would later be re-instated and go on to become its President.
In addition to its INSPIRING IRELAND 1916 exhibition, the RIA will host a series of fascinating talks on a wide variety of topics. Hear about the role of the RIA during in the Rising, how Ireland’s Lighthouse Service became involved, and why the Rising had implications as far afield as India. Other talks will examine what the rebels wore, the graffiti of Kilmainham Gaol, and some of the many other objects and images that have come to symbolise the Rising, including the Proclamation.
Hear also about the artists of the day, and about some of the many letters written in 1916, and now preserved. Come along and gain an insight into Ordinary Lives in an Extraordinary Time.
