Elaine Byrne – Classic material with a contemporary context

Elaine Byrne – Classic material with a contemporary context

Irish artist Elaine Byrne makes work that uses Dante, James Joyce and other heady source material for her works with political and social commentary on contemporary issues. In one case she is calling out an Irish bank scandal, using Dante's Purgatorio and a pilgrimage location in Ireland called St. Patrick's Purgatory; in another she's raising issues about anti-Semitism in the context of Joyce's Cyclops section of Ulysses. The videos are captivating, and give so very much to chew over. Elaine's Irish accent is part of the treat of this 38-minutes long podcast.
