Irish artist Niamh McCann on her exhibition 'Hairline Crack'

It's sometimes said that art records what the history books cannot, giving us a sense of how it may have felt to live through a particular moment in time. It also allows us to question the official narrative of events. "Hairline Crack [a dialogue]" by visual artist Niamh McCann is on display at the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris.

'"Hairline Crack [a dialogue]" is on view at the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris until March 26.
