Art as Social Commentary

Brian Maguire’s new exhibition at the Crawford Art Gallery confronts migration at the US/Mexican border. We have designed a resource pack to support Senior Cycle students in exploring this exhibition and forming their own opinions. It is especially relevant to the leaving cert art appreciation question - Art as Social Commentary. 


The short film, REMAINS - Brian Maguire, offers a window into the artist’s working methods and his motivations. Brian is filmed in conversation with people intimate with the complexities of life at the US/Mexican border. 

Link to the film is here https://crawfordartgallery.ie/remains-brian-maguire/

Visit the exhibition REMAINS - Brian Maguire from 17 September 2021 – 9 January 2022.
