Sarah Lundberg Summer School

29 Jun 2024 Sean O'Casey Theatre, East Wall
Sarah Lundberg Summer School

Join Us for the 10th Annual Sarah Lundberg Summer School

The event will take place this Saturday, 29th June, at 12:30 PM.

The summer school is an exploration of the concept of commemoration, remembrance and celebration.

  • Who decides what is remembered and how we remember it?
  • Are all commemorations of equal importance, and can remembrance ever be truly neutral, or is there always an underlying agenda?
  • Does history dictate how we commemorate the past, or do our commemorations shape how we view history?

Engaging Presentations

The event will feature two insightful presentations:

  1. "The Ups and Downs of Dublin's Statues" by Hugo McGuinness of the East Wall History Group.
  2. "We’ve Put Up More Than We’ve Pulled Down: The Fall of Colston and the Memorial Landscape of Bristol" with special guests Roger Ball and Mark Steeds from the Bristol Radical History Group and Countering-Colston.
