NLI partners with EPA to announce Paula T Nolan as first Photographer-in-Residence
Paula’s project, titled ‘ReViewing Ireland: A Photo Study of Ireland’s Environment’, will involve travelling via public transport to each of the 26 counties over a period of one year. Over four seasons, Paula will capture images of environmental interest. She will be aided by access to EPA experts and the NLI’s photographic collection. She will take pictures and compare them with what she finds in the landscape of today.
Marking the announcement, Dr Audrey Whitty, Director of the National Library of Ireland, said:
“We are delighted to announce that the selected artist photographer for the inaugural residency, 2024, is Paula T. Nolan with a project titled ‘ReViewing Ireland: A Photo Study of Ireland’s Environment’. Her work will embody the NLI’s mission, which is to collect, protect and make accessible the recorded memory of Ireland. This residency also embodies two key pillars of the NLI’s Strategic Plan - reveal and engage - as it will encompass the land and seascapes of Ireland by way of impact and inspiration.”
