Dear ,
To mark a century of James Joyce’s Ulysses, three of Ireland’s most innovative arts organisations and practitioners – ANU, Landmark Productions and MoLI – have joined together, assembling hundreds of Ireland’s most exciting artists, creatives, arts workers and arts organisations across multiple genres to present Ulysses 2.2, a year-long, odyssey of creative, artistic and experimental responses to the 18 episodes of Ulysses that chronicle an ordinary day in the life of Leopold Bloom.
Episode 7 of Ulysses 2.2: Promised Land continues at the GPO this week, finishing up on Friday 7 October. Watch the trailer below and find out how last week's audiences found the virtual reality experience.
Curated by Fintan O’Toole in collaboration with filmmaker Viko Nikci, and launching on Culture Night 2022, Promised Land is a unique VR experience, exploring themes of memory, commemoration and the abandoned promises of a brighter future. Hosted in the public office of the GPO, once the heart of the city, Promised Land gives members of the Dublin public the rare opportunity to travel back in time and above the rooftops, to witness Joyce’s Dublin of 1904 from the top of the long-since destroyed Nelson’s Pillar.
Open from 10am - 1pm / 2 - 5pm, Monday to Saturday at the GPO (running 23 September - 7 October). Free admission, no booking required.
