Come and experience this sensory portrait of Britain's earliest migrant community. It is a story shaped by kinship, politics, culture and activism and we feel very privileged to be the custodians of these oral histories. Thank you EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum and Department of Foreign Affairs, Ireland for helping us to bring them home.
'(This exhibition) is probably more important here in Ireland than it actually is in Britain because obviously the people who contributed to this and who live in Britain have experienced what it's like to be an immigrant', 🗣 Richy O'Gormon Visit 'Look Back To Look Forward: 50 Years of the Irish in Britain': an exhibition curated by Irish in Britain, now at EPIC until July 14th. Explore inspirational and heart-breaking stories of the Irish diaspora and its legacy in Great Britain over the past 50 years. More info: https://lnkd.in/gJ9bA3Q4

My latest illustrations for the charity Irish in Britain. I worked on their oral history project ‘Look Back to Look Forward’ and create some illustrations of significant places to the Irish community to be part of the exhibition. It has made its way to London, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and finally the EPIC Museum in Dublin, Ireland. The exhibition features some amazing stories from the Irish community in Britain. Hit me up if you are looking for illustrations and exhibition design.
