‘Yeats and the
West’ explores his life, work, legacy, and deep connections to the west of
Ireland and wider western worlds. Through images, words, film, and sound, with
touchscreens and rich display cases sourced from NUI Galway and archives around
the world, featuring rare material from Yeats, J.M. Synge, and Lady Gregory,
and original artwork from Jack B. Yeats, Gerard Dillon, and Fergus Bourke, ‘Yeats
& the West’ tells anew an old story: a story of going west to find those
places, real and imaginative, that change our sense of where and who we are.
This Culture
Night, Friday 18th September, join the exhibition curators, Adrian
Paterson and Barry Houlihan, and special guests, for a series of talks and
guided tours of the ‘Yeats and the West’ exhibition and discover, in this
anniversary year of Yeats2015, what the west meant to Yeats and what this might
mean to us.
Tours and talks
