Dublin City / Temple Bar and Creative Quarter

In Our Own Image: The Social Gaze is the fourth chapter in Photo Museum Ireland’s year-long programme of exhibitions looking at photographic practices and national identity in Ireland. This is a landmark survey exhibition that undertakes a critical reframing of how Irish life has been represented through photography, bringing together work that engages directly with the diverse identities that make up Irishness today. Rather than presenting a canon of photography, this exhibition has been curated to emphasise the visual and conceptual languages characteristic of recent photographic practice in Ireland. It highlights Photo Museum Ireland’s long-term commitment to developing and showcasing major bodies of work by Irish artists at the cutting-edge of contemporary trends.
