Cillín, an exhibition of new work by photographer Tommy Weir at The Dock.
From the 7th Century, through the Middle Ages and continuing to the late 20th Century, unbaptised children were rarely buried in consecrated ground. Denied access to the graveyard, they were buried in cillíní instead. These unofficial graveyards form a part of the Irish landscape, numbering several thousand across Ireland.
Weir has collaborated with poet, Una Mannion and archaeologist, Dr. Marion Dowd on this body of work, bringing together photography, science and poetry, looking at the Irish relationship to death and ritual over the centuries.
Tommy Weir is a photographer based North West of Ireland. Originally from Dublin, Weir has had a career spanning the arts, from visual art through publishing, design, theatre, film and photography.

This exhibition was organised by the RHA, touring to The Dock, Carrick on Shannon and to Uillinn, West Cork Arts Centre, Skibbereen, 7th November to 16th December 2020. Kindly supported through the Arts Council of Ireland‘s Touring and Dissemination of Work Scheme.
