Beneath Our Feet: Art meets archaeology on North Main Street in Cork

The exhibition at St Peter's was inspired by an excavation on a nearby site before a block of apartments was built there

Beneath Our Feet is an exhibition that celebrates the relationship between archaeology and art. Inspired by an excavation at 92-96 North Main St, Cork in the winter of 2021-22, it runs just five doors away, at St Peter’s, until October 4.

Beneath Our Feet is curated by the Cork-based artist and archaeologist John Sunderland, who worked on the dig for its six months’ duration, alongside project director Avril Purcell.
