Memory Boxes Video Installation

A demonstration of "Memory Boxes", made with migrants at the Intercultural Drop-in Centre in Tallaght by Peter Sheeky, PhD candidate, School of Linguistic, Speech and Communication Sciences.

This will be shown regularly on the electronic screen in the Arts Building Tunnel throughout Trinity Week.

The Library: Minds and Reminds

The Library in Trinity is a memory institution not only for the nation and the world but also for the College itself; it is the Library which minds the archives of the University. As part of Trinity Week the Library has drawn on these archives and installed eight posters in the West end of Campus with images to remind the visitor of how things used to be. For example did you know there was an ancient mulberry tree where the Arts Block now stands or that there is rumoured to be a ghost in the Rubrics? Make sure to see all eight posters!

The transient transference of memory

The Library will explore the theme of memory held on electronic devices, and issues around both memory loss and growth in capability: An exhibition in the Orientation space, of the Berkeley/ Lecky/Ussher Library with examples of early PCs and Macs and an array of storage media, exploring memory capacity; memory loss; and memory development, and also considering the theme of preservation risk.

The Douglas Hyde Gallery presents a new sculptural intervention by Hannah Fitz in room 3025 of the Arts Building.

Venue: Please enquire in the Gallery for details of how to access the room during this week.

Privilege Walk

1.00pm 5 April 2016

The Trinity Acces Programme in conjunction with the equality fund is running an event in Front Square on the 05th of April at 1pm as part of a celebration of Trinity Week-  the event is called a Privilege Walk and a smaller version can be seen here.

The aim of this event is to increase awareness of where privilege can place people. Every statement addresses  some small privilege that is based on gender, race, ethnicity, class, or sexual orientation. The small statements in this exercise will add up to divide people into different locations across front square. This will reflect how small privileges in society often place individuals in different places in society. 


Interestingly, privilege tends to be invisible to those who are privileged.  That is, when we receive privilege based on race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or any other factor, we tend to not recognize the boosts in position that accumulate over time from those privileges. The point of this exercise is not to make any of us embarrassed about the privileges we have received, but to make all of us aware of how privilege based on gender, race, etc function. Whether we are highly privileged, moderately privileged or lack privilege, it is possible to behave in ways that level the playing field for everyone.
