Bloomsday in Dubai: Bloomsday and Beyond

📖 Bloomsday & Beyond: The New Creatives
Hosted by the Irish Embassy Abu Dhabi & Dubai Irish Society

James Joyce didn’t just write a novel — he broke every rule of the written word.
Now, over a century later, 10 groundbreaking Irish artists in the UAE are following in his footsteps — not by repeating the past, but by reimagining what it means to be Irish, creative, and bold in the world today.

From brushstrokes to spoken word, sculpture to sound — this is Ulysses, reawakened.
Not on the streets of Dublin… but in the heart of Dubai.

🔹 This is more than a tribute. It’s a creative uprising.
Join us as we celebrate the Irish imagination — past, present, and fearlessly forward.

There will be an art exhibition, live music, and poetry recitals celebrating James Joyce and Irelands enduring influence on creativity and literature.
