About this event

What does a city lose when it forgets what it looked like? Inspired by Gerard Byrne's 'Before I Go. Vanishing Dublin', our panel of historians and heritage voices reckon with Dublin's changing streetscapes — and what's at stake if we look away.

As Dublin changes at pace, what do we stand to lose? Amidst Gerard Byrne's new exhibition, 'Before I Go. Vanishing Dublin', this panel brings together historians, heritage advocates and cultural voices to explore architecture, memory, and civic identity. Cities are not museums. They grow, shift, and sometimes forget. Heritage can't be built. It can only be inherited, tended to, or betrayed.

Donough Cahill of the Irish Georgian Society, Daryl Henley Rooney of The Little Museum of Dublin, and Arran Henderson of Dublin Decoded, in conversation, moderated by historian Donal Fallon of Three Castles Burning.
