In 130 photographs from the early 1990s, Wally Cassidy captures pre-born Dublin in all its tattered glory. loosely divided into four sections – Street, Protest, Smithfield and punks- these images reflect the tensions and contradictions of a nation struggling to define itself.
At times harsh, but tempered with humour and humanity, The Other Half lives is an honest and arresting collection. Cassidy’s keen eye and steady nerve bring us face-to-face with an Ireland we may prefer to forget but in many ways is still with us today.

Between Spaces: Garry Loughlin
Whilst there is a photography tradition of documenting the American road trip, I felt that traveling by bike would expose me to opportunities and encounters that could be overlooked if travelled by car or bus. Taking a slower pace and being on my own speed allowed me, as an observer passing through small American towns, to see the beauty in the banality of everyday life. I feel the decision to cycle not only gave me a stronger connection the landscape but also to the people I met along the way.
