Dublin You Are by Stephen James Smith

The Dublin You Are project came about in a collaborative manner between a number of Dublin-based artists, Dublin2020, the Bid to be the European Capital of Culture 2020 and the people of Dublin.

The video is based around the words of poet Stephen James Smith, which capture the good and the bad of Dublin, the successes and the failures, the community and the divide – in essence, it reflects much of the ideas that came from the conversations and workshops Dublin2020 had with people all over Dublin over the past year.

The team has created a visual representation of what Dublin is today, a fair portrayal of city’s grim and glory, where the visuals complement the written narrative.

Dublin You Are is presented by Dublin2020 in association with the following artists:

• Poetry by Stephen James Smith (@sjswords)

• lllustrations by Aoife Dooley
