Bloomsday in Frankfurt
Ireland's Consulate in Frankfurt is planning a number of events around Bloomsday and into the coming months.
Joyce touring exhibition
This exhibition opened in Mainz on 14/06/22 and will tour several cities in the region in the months ahead. Further venues will be added in the coming weeks and months – we hope to tour the exhibition well into next year.
- 14-30 June – ‚Philosophicum‘ building (1st floor), Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz
- 26 Sept-9 Oct - Rudi-Stephan-Gymnasium Worms
- 10 Oct-31 Oct – Stadtbibliothek Darmstadt
- 1-13 November – Stadtbibliothek Wetzlar
- 14-27 November – Phillipps University Marburg
Book giveaway
The Consulate has organised a Joyce-related book giveaway which will see books being given away via social media and also donated to institutions.
To date we have donated books to the Johannes-Gutenberg-University in Mainz (see below) and plan to donate books to the Goethe University in Frankfurt shortly. We also plan to donate books to the public ‘open bookcase’ initiative in Frankfurt.
Ulysses class
The Consulate supported the delivery of a semester-long class on Ulysses delivered by a faculty member within the English/American studies area.
25 students signed up for the class, with copies of Ulysses being provided by the Consulate. Vice Consul Niall Farrell visited the class on June 14th to screen the RTÉ Ulysses documentary and deliver a presentation on the evolution of the book’s reception and cultural impact over time.
