‘Mobilise the poets’—art & culture in the Irish Revolution

@ the Allingham Festival, Abbey Centre, Ballyshannon

6pm Saturday 9 November

So exhorted Arthur Griffith from his Gloucester Prison cell in January 1919. But how did the arts (literature, film, the visual arts, music and song) affect the Irish Revolution? How in turn did the Revolution affect the arts?

Join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, for a wide-ranging discussion with Nicholas Allen, Kevin Rockett, Roisín Kennedy and Fintan Vallely.

Full details and registration *here*.
