About the exhibition
Ballinasloe, a small town near Galway and Smithfield, a district of Dublin, welcomes their horse fair every year. In a country that is evolving and modernizing, the desire to keep traditions alive has become stronger. These fairs are a way for Irish Travellers to celebrate their culture and participate in the horse trade and sales, while for others, it is a way to enjoy the festivities.
