‘The Youth Need to see Their Greatness Reflected in our Eyes’.
From the Nominator
To mark the launch of our first philanthropic Campaign Inspiring Generations, Trinity College Dublin commissioned a large site-specific artwork installation by street artist Joe Caslin titled ‘The Youth Need to see Their Greatness Reflected in our Eyes’. The artwork featured Samuel Beckett, Nobel Laureate and one of Trinity’s most celebrated alumni, alongside Leah Kenny, a student whose final year thesis was on Beckett and his work for her undergraduate English degree. Inspiring Generations harnesses Trinity’s past and present achievements as a means of charting our future.
