For some, this was through the funding objects which embedded their names and family connections into buildings, or donating their treasured possessions to make everyday community items. For others, the emphasis was on replicating what they saw (or ‘remembered’) in Ireland and bringing it to their new home. In turn, those who had left the island of Ireland for the United States impacted the built environment here - particularly through public memorialisations for those who died abroad. In this way, this research brings transatlantic familial priorities of remembrance together with the buildings that we still use.This talk expands the spaces and ways in which ‘Irishness’ was articulated in both local and global contexts, bringing together examples from across North America and Ireland. It seeks, in particular, to draw out the contributions of women (lay and religious) in shaping how migrant communities connected to, and sustained, a sense of ‘Irishness’ across multiple generations – and how those articulations can still be found embedded in spaces that are no longer typically seen as ‘Irish’. It therefore considers the ways that the priorities of nineteenth-century Irish migrants continue to physically frame today’s community spaces. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/belfast/irish-and-american-identities-and-the-built-environment/100001988466667330 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Public Record Office of Northern Ireland - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Belfast - **state**: NI - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Public Record Office of Northern Ireland - **lat**: 54.6041393 - **long**: -5.910598400000026 - **full address**: Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, 2 Titanic Boulevard Titanic Quarter, Belfast, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Irish and American Identities and the Built Environment - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/df8e7bc1bc42967457837089c0613fb4c6771bd504efa25fc3a145b9fe726323-rimg-w1200-h1600-dc474847-gmir.jpg?v=1778453119 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Irish and American Identities and the Built Environment being held? - **A:** Irish and American Identities and the Built Environment takes place on Thu, 03 Dec, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Thu, 03 Dec, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, 2 Titanic Boulevard Titanic Quarter, Belfast, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Irish and American Identities and the Built Environment? - **A:** Irish and American Identities and the Built Environment is organized by DfC Engaged Communities Group. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
