Various artists

Originally commissioned as part of the Culture Programme of Ireland’s EU Presidency in 2013.

The Poetry Project paired contemporary Irish poetry with videos by contemporary Irish artists. Words at Wilton Park presents a welcome chance to revisit some favourites. The Project was viewed over the course of the Presidency by people in more than one hundred countries.

We are delighted to present ten of these at Living Canvas.

Diana Copperwhite
