No Ordinary People: The Role of Irish Artists in Irish Revolutionary Politics 1900-1923
Wednesday, October 27, 2010 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Speaker: Irish Historian and Author Sinéad McCoole from County Mayo, Ireland
In the first decades of the twentieth century, Ireland saw an explosion of cultural activity. Those who took part in the Easter 1916 Rising, the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War were at the forefront of creating a new culture for Irish people. There was an explosion of interest in the Irish language, writing, drama, music and art. Irish historian and author Sinéad McCoole will explore the role of Irish artists and culturally active women in the evolution of these artistic and cultural aspects of Irish heritage and political and social development.
The University of St. Thomas Center for Irish Studies Cultural Outreach Program is funded in part by a grant from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
