Exhibition: The Humans of the Liberties

In the heart of Dublin 8, amidst the historic streets and vibrant cultural tapestry of The 

Liberties, unfolds an exhibition that shines a light on the unique lives and stories of its 

residents. ‘The Humans of the Liberties’ presented by Culture Date with Dublin 8 in 

partnership with Humans of Dublin, offers a glimpse into the resilience, joy, and profound 

sense of community that binds this neighbourhood together. Through candid narratives and 

personal accounts, this series explores the diverse experiences of individuals who contribute 

to the rich heritage and dynamic spirit of Dublin 8.

From tales of survival and personal triumphs to reflections on community bonds and the 

transformative power of human connection, each story is a testament to the enduring spirit 

of The Liberties. As we journey through the exhibition, we encounter voices of wisdom, tales 

of redemption, and reflections on the changing landscape of this historic area. These stories 

not only celebrate the individual journeys of the residents but also highlight the collective 

resilience and creativity that characterise The Liberties.

This introduction serves as an invitation to delve deeper into the lives of those who call Dublin 

8 home, to understand their struggles and celebrations, and to recognize the fabric of 

community that weaves them together. As we embark on this exploration, let us carry with us 

a sense of curiosity and openness, ready to be moved, inspired, and perhaps changed by the 

stories we discover. 

Welcome to ‘The Humans of the Liberties’ – a celebration of culture, history, and the human spirit in Dublin 8.
