What caused the Irish Famine? There is no simple answer to this. In addition to the blight, ideological blindness, moralism, prejudice, and the Poor Law all had a role

On reading Cecil Woodham-Smith’s account of the #GreatHunger in Ireland in the 1840s & the symptoms of #starvation in the children. You just can’t help but compare it to today’s crises. It is so, so wrong for children to be starving in the 21st century in a world of plenty. #IrishHistory #Gaza

Still processing the emotion and energy of last night’s Gala. What a night for community, history, and hope. For now, here’s a moment that says it all — a stunning violin performance by Arav Amin. #IGHMF #IrishCulture #GreatHunger

fleeing conditions far worse than our Irish ancestors ever did. Shame on any person of Irish descent here who is white supremacist & a America First cheerleader. Shame on you for aligning yourselves with Trump/MAGA fascism. #Ireland #IrishAmerican #greathunger #immigration #Trump #MAGA #fascism

What Made the Irish Famine So Deadly?
The Great Hunger was a modern event, shaped by the belief that the poor are the authors of their own misery and that the market must be obeyed at all costs

Many Irish in London during the Great Famine were deported to Ireland. These are (pre-Famine) removal receipts of the Connors from Cork who had left Ireland 5 years before but didn't meet the criteria to be deemed 'settled' in England. They faced starvation and disease on their return.

4/4 Michael Farrell (1940–2000) used art to expose injustice. His Black ’47 combines Holocaust imagery with famine history, linking human suffering across eras. Farrell’s work is a bold call for compassion and remembrance. #IrishArt #GreatHunger#fineart www.IGHMF.org #art

3/4 Farrell’s Black ’47 honors Sultan Abdülmecid, who sent aid to Ireland in 1847 despite British resistance. His act of solidarity reminds us of humanity’s potential to transcend borders and injustice. A light in a dark chapter of history. #GreatHunger #IrishHistory

2/4 Charles Trevelyan, a British Treasury official during the Great Hunger, justified withholding food aid, exacerbating Ireland’s suffering. His actions reflect the inhumanity depicted in Black ’47. History must remember those who failed to act. #IrishHistory #GreatHunger #irishart #art #fineart

1/4 Michael Farrell’s Black ’47 (1997-1998) confronts the horrors of Ireland’s Great Hunger. Skeletons symbolize famine victims, while discarded shoes recall Nazi death camps. A haunting reminder of suffering, resilience, and unity. Learn more: www.IGHMF.org #GreatHunger #IrishArt #fineart

Connemara Woman with Red Skirt” by Seán O’Sullivan (1952) captures the essence of Ireland’s west. A rosy-cheeked woman in traditional dress stands against a rugged Connemara backdrop, symbolizing resilience, authenticity, and a deep connection to nature. #IrishArt #greathunger #art #fineart

2/2 Farrell’s work underscores art’s role in shaping public opinion and influencing political policy. By confronting historical injustices, “The Wounded Wonder” invites reflection on Ireland’s past, highlighting art’s power to inspire societal change #art #colonialism #irishart #ireland #greathunger

Brian Maguire’s “The World Is Full of Murder” (1985) confronts the brutality of dehumanization, drawing from Nazi atrocities. Its visceral imagery compels reflection on the consequences of stripping away humanity. #Art #irishart #BrianMaguire #greathunger
