Murmurations Exhibition James Crombie

Murmurations (The Lilliput Press) by James Crombie is a stunning new book about one man’s quest to capture the beauty of an Irish natural phenomenon. Combining narrative and photography, Crombie brings us on a mesmerising journey from the shore of Lough Ennell, Co. Westmeath, where he spent over 400 days capturing murmurations of starlings, dancing above the water. Enjoy a selection of these beautiful images, on display at our Festival Hub in The Printworks. 

James will be doing a walk-through of his exhibition on Friday 8 November from 11.45am – 12.30pm, followed by a book signing. This is a drop-in event.

The exhibition will be accessible at our Festival Hub in The Printworks, Dublin Castle from 11am – 4pm, Friday November 8th to Sunday November 10th.
