Royal Irish Academy talk – the RIA will host a talk on:
“Mapping Ireland through time: From Cartographies to Communities”
which will be held on Tuesday 27th August 2024 at 18:00 – 19:30 at the Royal Irish Academy, 19 Dawson Street, Dublin 2, D02 HH58. The Royal Irish Academy, in partnership with the International Geographical Congress 2024, invites you to a public event that traces the evolution of mapping in Ireland.
From map-making as a colonial project to contemporary community map-making as a means to address significant national challenges, we invite you to consider the social and political power of maps in a variety of contexts across more than 400 years.
Each panellist will present a fifteen-minute talk on maps and map-making during different time periods. This will be followed by a Q&A session moderated by Professor Keith Lilley, Queen’s University Belfast.
From 17:30-18:00 attendees will also have the opportunity to view the OS200 Exhibition outside of its regular opening hours and to peruse material from the Irish and wider European Historic Towns Atlas series which will be on display.
