Join us in celebration of St. Brigid’s Day 2025.
Friday 31 January – Sunday 2 February 2025
Listening for Bridget
After the successful launch of photographer Deirdre Brennan’s Looking for Brigid photography project, Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women is excited to return with the second chapter of this powerful series. Listening for Brigid invites you to explore the voices and stories behind the Bridgets captured in Brennan’s lens—women of all ages, backgrounds, and spellings of the name, from Ireland and abroad.
Visitors will be able to listen to the diverse and riveting histories of these Bridgets in Gallery 18 in the Hugh Lane Gallery or online (the link will be shared on the 31st of Jan 2025 here) —each with her own unique journey, yet all connected by the enduring legacy of the name. Through personal stories, reflections, and the exhibition of photographs, we will explore the lives of these women and the myriad ways they embody the spirit of Brigid.
This piece is created by award-winning photographer Deirdre Brennan and edited by sound engineer Barry Connolly.
Come and listen. Come and celebrate.
Presented with support by Brigit 2025: Dublin City Celebrating Women, a Dublin City Council initiative, and the Hugh Lane Gallery.
