The Glucksman Gallery, in partnership with the UCC School of Law, commissioned seven Irish picture book authors to respond to different themes in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Artists Mary Murphy, R\u00f3is\u00edn Hahessy, Niamh Sharkey, Peter Donnelly, Fatti Burke, Chris Haughton and Chris Judge created seven new illustrations focusing on family and identity, education, creativity and play, justice, and the right to be heard, equality, climate change and the environment, and migrants and refugees.<\/p>\n
Fingal County Council is delighted to host this beautiful exhibition which not only tackles complex themes in an accessible way but also celebrates the wealth of talent amongst Irish illustrators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":24039,"template":"","class_list":["post-24038","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
