‘Rhythms of a Port’ was held in the historic Red Brick shed on John Rogerson’s Quay as part of the Photo Ireland Festival 2014. The production,which lasted two weeks was created by Dublin based artist and film-maker Moria Sweeney (pictured below) in association with Dublin Port Company.

The exhibition illustrates the intimate connection between the docks and the nearby City areas. Large screens hanging from the shed rafters enable visitors to appreciate the tales of the port’s dock workers, managers and boatmen.  By combining the old with the new, Sweeney achieves a living and breathing exhibition whilst celebrating the heritage of the port.

Eamon O ‘Reilly, Chief Executive of Dublin Port Company told News Four that “The Rhythms of a Port exhibition sheds new light on one of our oldest and most bustling city quarters, and aims to educate its audience on the Port’s special relationship with Dublin and the workers who have served it so well.”
