Join Helium Arts for a special family promenade day at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. You will be given a trail map to seek out film installations throughout the grounds of IMMA created by members of CanTeen Ireland, the national young people’s cancer support group. Each film work is a unique response to the history of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham and the veteran soldiers who lived there. The films were produced during Helium's Two Suitcases Project with the support of professional artists.
