AROUND THE TABLE

A PROJECT ABOUT
FOOD IN DUBLIN

Around the Table, a project about food in Dublin, connected with communities old and new across Dublin’s historic Central Area. It was created in Central Dublin as a partnership between Dublin’s Culture Connects, community groups across the City, the Dublin City Arts Office, Dublin Public Libraries, The National Library of Ireland, the Central Area Office, and the artists Jennie Moran, Jeanette Lowe and historian Donal Fallon as part of The National Neighborhood Project in the Central Area. Groups such as the Docklands Preservation Society, The Snug Women’s Group, local businesses and more have been mining the history of food in the city through storytelling, sharing recipes and creating walking tours of their area to map the movement of food through the city. The Project was then condensed into an art book, which I had the pleasure of designing while working at the design agency Red Dog in Dublin. Brimming with stories from the markets and docks during their heyday and does a great job of capturing some of that Dublin charm. The Book can be borrowed from the library in the Ilac Centre Dublin and a PDF download is available on Dublin’s Culture Connects website.
