The Salvage Agency considers the agency and role of art in contemporary ecology and environmental action. Curator Michele Horrigan notes “Galway, on the edge of the northeast Atlantic, is a unique location for a heightened awareness of what is at stake. Explorations of landscape, seascape and nature, public space, colonial history, political structures, the industrial complex and folk narratives are all pertinent. These are paths taken by our collective society in the shaping of today’s world and a contemporary Europe. Can art create an undercurrent of improvisation and frugality, haphazard formality, and change to offer new perspectives, provocations and empathy? From the wreckage, can art nourish a new reality?”

The 22nd edition of TULCA is realised in venues throughout Galway city and county, including Galway City Museum, Zoology and Marine Biology Museum, The James Mitchell Geology Museum, Galway Arts Centre, 126 Artist-run Gallery, Galway Civic Trust, University Gallery, Pálás Cinema and more off-site venues to be announced.
