Let’s make a day of it! We’ll be taking a trip to both Temple Bar Gallery and IMMA on Thursday the 23rd of November to see their current exhibitions. When we’ve had our fill of art, we’re going to head to Old Royal Oak to wash it down and have a chat. If you’re not available for the whole day, no problem, you’re more than welcome to join us at any point.
Hope to see you there!

Exhibition Details
Atoosa Pour Hosseini | The Magic Circle | Temple Bar Gallery
Influenced by early avant-garde cinema, Atoosa Pour Hosseini fuses illusion with reality through the media of film, video installation, sculpture, and performance. She works with the material textures of 8mm and 16mm film as well as digital processes in moving image to explore layers of space and timelessness. Her combination of these technical devices with rich symbolic archetypes creates a cinematic encounter of memory and perception.

Self-Determination: A Global Perspective | IMMA
Self-Determination: A Global Perspective is the culmination of a three-year research project focusing on the new nation-states that emerged in the wake of the First World War, exploring the role of art and artists in relation to the expression of national identities, nation-building, and statecraft.
This exhibition brings together a range of Irish and international works, both modern and contemporary, that illuminate the shared experiences of the new states. In 1919, Arthur Griffith, writing from Gloucester Prison, urged his colleagues to ‘mobilise the poets’ to help make Ireland’s case for independence on the international stage. Griffith’s letter acknowledges the role of art and culture in developing international solidarities and justifying Ireland’s right, among other small nations, to ‘self-determine’. It also highlights the new possibilities for artists in the early twentieth century, an era of collapsing empires and seismic geopolitical shifts, to articulate and enact radical modern and democratic principles.
