Event | Beneath – Beofhód Opening Night at Photo Museum Ireland

Event Details

Join us from 6.00pm on Thursday 4 June to celebrate the premiere exhibition of Shane Hynan’s Beneath | Beofhód, a decades-long exploration of the evolving perception and value of peatlands in contemporary Ireland.

Drawing on Hynan’s authentic connection with his local community and region, the work traces the remnants of industrial peat harvesting and the tensions that emerge between the tradition of small-scale harvesting for domestic use and the need to protect remaining peatlands.
