Dubliner Colm Pierce’s intimate and sensitive work spotlights Sheriff Street and its surrounding areas at a time of change.
The photographs capture the area, nestled between Dublin’s docklands and the International Financial Services Centre, when its working class community faced dwindling industrial employment and the imminent arrival of Celtic Tiger gentrification.
From its schools, football teams, community disco and play groups, an oft overlooked and polarised neighbourhood and its residents are vividly captured through the joy, hope and grind of family life, youthful coming of age and mid-life routine.
