Opening 2pm on Friday 10th.

Art and design students from the Wexford Campus of IT Carlow will be holding an Exhibition entitled The Great Famine Exhibition at Workhouse Sq. MacDonagh Junction Shopping Centre, Kilkenny from the 10th to the 17th February. First year students have worked over the last few months to provide a representation and visual work in various materials and forms to commemorate and remember the great Irish Famine and the story of the discovery of a mass grave in Kilkenny. The students were asked as part of the brief to come up with ideas on how best to commemorate this great Irish tragedy and the site of the mass grave. Students offered several suggestions including a memorial garden and or  sculptures and monuments and these will be on display during the exhibition. In addition to this several sculptural pieces have been created by students and will also form part of the exhibition. The event will be formally opened on Friday 10th of February at 2pm by Donie Butler – Centre Manager, MacDonagh Junction and Maureen Hegarty from the Kilkenny Archaeology Society

McDonagh Junction Shopping Centre occupies the site of the former Kilkenny Union Workhouse, and the workhouse buildings themselves were found to be adjacent to an unmarked and forgotten famine burial site. A few short years ago during the construction of the centre in 2006 this burial site was painstakingly excavated and recorded with the cooperation of all parties involved including local authorities, the developer, and contractor etc. the site revealed over 970 bodies  victims of the 1845 -1849 famine – a disproportionate number of these skeletal human remains being children. Armed with this information art and design students at Wexford Campus were encouraged by their tutors to investigate further with a view to putting on the above exhibition.
All are welcome and of course it’s all free .
