About Darkness and Light Póstaer

Is póstaer é Dorchadas agus Solas a cruthaíodh do thaispeántas ar litríocht chlasaiceach na Seapáine. Cuireann an póstaer ealaín laicir agus péintéireacht ola, dúlra agus daonnacht, stíleanna clasaiceacha agus nua-aimseartha le chéile. Nascann an clóghrafaíocht saothair beirt ealaíontóirí le téacsanna clasaiceacha atá i seilbh na hinstitiúide taighde. Tomhaiseann an bhileog phriontáilte 515 faoi 728 miliméadar agus táirgtear í trí phriontáil fritháisithe UV le dúch glasraí ar pháipéar atá deimhnithe ag an bhForas Cúraim Foraoise. Léiríonn an dearadh conas a mhúnlaíonn an cultúr clasaiceach agus na leabhair an léiriú ealaíonta inniu.
