“Cork Voices of the Irish Revolution” will elucidate the events which have shaped our modern city and nation, guided through interviews, quotes and tales from figures both instrumental and observing. This exhibit will underpin the facts and footnotes through the human accounts and experiences of Cork from 1912 – 1923 “Cork Voices of the Irish Revolution” is written and curated by long-time collaborator and prolific historian Gerry White in conjunction with Cork Public Museum and UCC.

Cork Voices is the natural culmination point of the various exhibits and installations from the Decade of Commemorations in St Peters; following key events from brewing tensions with the Home Rule movement and the formation of the Irish Volunteers to the death of Corks own, Michael Collins and the cessation of the Irish Civil War.

This installation details the events as seen by the eyes of the people who lived it; illustrated by their words and made real by the emotions captured in their testimony. The sentiments and experience of a generation so influential to the nation rekindled for their inheritors via the curation and historical preservation work conducted by Gerry White and collaborators.
