The People & Places Exhibition: A Selection from the Kenrick Photo Collection 1895 - 1915
2023-11-13 10:00 - 2023-11-25 17:00 (Europe/London) | Nenagh Library, E45 AK50
Nenagh Library is hosting an exhibition entitled “People and Places: A Selection from the Kenrick Photo Collection 1895 – 1915” featuring a selection of images from the Kenrick Photo Collection.

“The Kenrick Photo Collection is the work of amateur photographer Patrick Kenrick (1872-1950) who produced over 830 plate glass negative images between 1895 and 1915. Patrick Kenrick was born in Fethard, Co Tipperary. He was the son of a tailor and lived with his family on Main Street. Unable to work in the family business, Patrick had several jobs which included School Attendance Officer (1901 census), chauffeur and Land Agent (1911 census) for Richard Burke at Grove. He was also a remarkable amateur photographer.

In the curation of this exhibition the selected photos were chosen as examples of the many themes contained within the collection. Kenrick photographed the full stratigraphy of social life in Fethard at the turn of the twentieth century. From the barefoot child on the street to the affluent middle-class family and their peers.
The exhibition showcased as many of the themes of the collection as possible. Family life, social occasions, sporting events and community gatherings are included. Kenrick also photographed the landscape, antiquarian portraits of heritage sites still familiar today. Within some of these we can view modernity and antiquity together, such as the Rock of Cashel and the first car registered in Tipperary.
Many thanks to Roisin and Ann Marie from the Tipperary Heritage Office, Joe Kenny, the Newport family and our colleagues at Tipp Studies.”

"Life, Death and Love," - November, the month of Remembrance
2023-11-01 13:00 - 14:00 | Nenagh Library, E45 AK50
During the month of November, Nenagh Library, with the artist Pauline Goggin, will host a series of presentations and artist talks with mini workshops (approx 1hr.) Pauline, with a background in art teaching and psychotherapy, is a new resident in Nenagh since 2022 and has a lifelong art practice which she hopes will develop and flourish in the Tipperary air.

At this time of year, when the veils between life and death are more transparent, we think of our dead. Remembering the souls of the dead is something that many cultures and traditions highlight at this time of the year.

From the fiestas of Mexico, the annual remembrance ceremonies of Mozambique and the more mysterious rituals of New Guinea to the November cemetery patterns and ceremonies of All Souls day in Ireland, these global rituals and customs all have something in common, a need to celebrate and remember the lives of those mourned. Pauline will draw on some cultural responses to create objects of remembrance as well as talking about the resource which art has been in her own experience of loss and grief.

So join Pauline in Nenagh library, on Wednesday, 1st November, for a lunch time talk on ‘Life, Death and Love,’ starting at 1.00pm. Talks will also run on Tuesday evenings 7th and 14th of November at 6.30pm
