Images Are
All We Have

Images Are All We Have traces the thematic development of the discipline of photography and contextualises its historical background, bringing together the diverse and socially engaged set of contemporary art practices that define Irish Photography today. It proposes new ways to understand and celebrate the discipline; structured around a set of themed galleries, visitors are invited to tease out new connections between narratives depicted, as much as to gain a broader understanding and appreciation of the practices presented.

The ambitious survey highlights a selection of works on loan from several National Collections and Archives, from private collections, from the artists themselves, as much as many newly created work exhibited here for the first time and it involves artists spanning several generations, practices, and backgrounds.
