Bullet Points: Who, What, How We Commemorate
Following a Decade of Commemorations in Co. Kildare, it is pertinent to examine how we
commemorate; how we connect to events in our past; and what value there is in representation and re-enactment.
The Decade of Commemorations Programme (2013–2023) provided opportunities to imagine the everyday experience of ordinary people living in extraordinary times, alongside the main
protagonists in this complex period of Irish history.
Bullet Points interrogates who, what and how we choose to commemorate.
Curated by Paula Barrett, featuring a selection of artworks supported by Kildare County Council’s Decade of Commemorations Committee and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries 2013-2023 initiative.
