Fighting Irishmen
Friday 29 May - Sunday 29 November
Ulster American Folk Park
Celebrating Celtic Prizefighters 1820 to Present. Organised by the Irish Arts Center in New York City
and under the direction of guest curator James J.
Houlihan, ‘Fighting Irishmen’ tells the story of Irish
emigration through the sport of boxing.
A mainstay in New York and Boston for three years,
this is the first time the internationally acclaimed
exhibition has gone on display outside the U.S.A.
The exhibition features an array of robes, gloves,
boxing bags, prints, photographs, paintings
and films of Celtic Prizefighters from 1820
to the present day.
The exhibition offers a unique glimpse at the role
that prizefighting played in the history of Irish
America. Back in earlier decades, as the Irish sought
to find their feet, boxing was often a quick passport
to a better life for those who had a talent for it.
Through The Eye of a Needle

The sewing needle has been an essential tool in everyday life for over 10,000 years. It has given us sails to carry ships around the world, clothes to keep us warm, and quilts to sleep under.
