This innovative and unique multimedia art installation involves renowned artists from around the world in an exploration of the history and culture of the docklands of the famous Port of Cork and the men who worked there.

The project is based around the historic and legendary work of stevedores and dockers. Using print, projection, sound, computer graphics and other media, artists from Jordan, the Netherlands, the U.K. and Ireland come together to tell the fascinating stories of the men who were at the heart of the Irish economy for centuries.

This will be a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the public to enter a different world, to travel back in time and to see, hear and feel the atmosphere and experience the artistic response to the social history of the docklands.

Supported by The Port of Cork Company, Docklands Directorate, Cork City Council
