Iarsmaí (Remnants) | Reel Lives
Date: 9 June 2025
Venue: Nerve Centre, 7-8 Magazine Street, Derry, Derry, BT48 6HJ
Producer of Iarsmaí, Deaglán Ó Mocháin (Dearcán Media) will introduce this screening.
Iarsmaí examines Ireland's colonial legacy through the story of stolen skulls in Trinity College Dublin; aboriginal items taken by Irish settlers in Australia; and how some of the Benin Bronzes, looted from Africa in the 1890s, ended up in the National Museum in Dublin.
Scrúdaíonn Iarsmaí an leagáid coilíneachta atá ag Éirinn trí scéal na mblaoscanna goidte atá in Coláiste na Tríonóide a inniúchadh; ábhar dúchasach a ghoid lonnaitheoirí Éireannacha ón Astráil; agus an bealach ar chríochaigh cuid de na Benin Bronzes, a goideadh ón Aifric sna 1890í, in Iarsmalann Naisiúnta na hÉireann i mBaile Átha Cliath.
