This retrospective exhibition features work from Pete Smyth’s extensive photography project documenting aspects of life in West Tallaght where he lives. Local brings together Smyth’s renowned portrait series ‘Traveller’ and ‘View from the Dearth’, alongside his most recent work charting street and nightlife in and around Tallaght, “the routines, dramas and celebrations, the lending and returning…” as Ken Grant says in the foreword to this collection. Informed by his role as a community arts worker and social activist, Smyth lays bare “a place he helps shape and one that’s probably shaped him in the process.”
Gallery of Photography until January 12
