SUMMARY:Common Ground @ EPIC
DESCRIPTION:Common Ground: Ireland and the EU is a new multimedia exhibition exploring how Ireland’s membership of the European Union has shaped the country socially\, culturally and economically over the past few decades. The exhibition also looks at the impact Ireland has had across Europe\, telling stories of migration\, opportunity\, equality\, education and cultural exchange through immersive displays and personal stories. \n  \n\n\nIreland joined the European Economic Community (EEC) – as the EU was then known – on January 1\, 1973\, after a referendum endorsed by 83% of voters. It was then among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in western Europe\, with a population just over half of its current size. \nIreland’s accession proved to be the most consequential economic milestone in the half century since Irish independence\, but it also set in motion far-reaching social and cultural change. EU legislation has driven improvements in workers’ rights\, for example\, and set binding targets for climate action. Irish people have studied and built new lives across Europe\, while many Europeans have since made their homes here in Ireland. \nAs Ireland assumes the EU presidency in 2026\, this new multimedia exhibition explores how a small island nation has extended its influence across Europe\, and how Europe\, in turn\, has profoundly shaped modern Ireland. \nFeatured Stories:\nEqual Pay \nStudying Abroad \nAn Ghaeilge \nEntry to this exhibition is included in general admission tickets.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk – John O’Flynn | Dublin By Dusk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging artist talk with Irish painter John O’Flynn\, held in conjunction with his solo exhibition\, Painting Air. During the evening\, O’Flynn will discuss the ideas\, inspirations and creative process behind his work\, offering insight into a practice that blends reality\, memory and imagination. \nThe semi-abstract paintings in Painting Air are inspired by moments from the artist’s everyday life that evoke peace\, excitement\, hope and “the ineffable”. Drawing on influences from Impressionism\, Graffiti and Street Art\, O’Flynn has developed a distinctive visual language that captures the atmosphere\, light and emotional resonance of fleeting experiences. His paintings invite viewers to reflect on the unseen qualities that shape our perception of the world. \nOriginally from Galway and now based in Dublin\, John O’Flynn’s works explore themes of landscape\, light\, introspection and the rhythms of everyday life. His work is held in private collections across Europe\, North America\, Asia and Australia. \nThis event forms part of ‘Dublin by Dusk’\, a new citywide initiative celebrating arts\, culture\, hospitality and shopping on the last Thursday of each month. \n\n  \nPLEASE NOTE: Admission is FREE but booking is essential\, to book your spot please e-mail info@sofinearteditions.com

SUMMARY:After the Image: Collage Workshop | Dublin By Dusk
DESCRIPTION:In an age of infinite scrolling and endless image production\, what happens when we stop consuming images and begin entering into conversation with them? \nResponding to Afterimage: Photography in the Digital Age\, this workshop explores analogue collage as a practice of slow looking\, personal reflection and creative inquiry. \nWorking with found photographs\, participants will cut\, rearrange and recontextualise existing images. Rather than beginning with a fixed idea\, you will be encouraged to follow your instincts and discover meaning through the process of selecting\, placing and layering imagery. As unexpected themes\, memories and associations begin to emerge\, collage invites a different question: not simply “What do I want to make?” but “What is trying to reveal itself?” \nWorking by hand offers a way to interrupt the speed at which we usually encounter images. The tactile process of cutting and composing creates space to notice the photographs before us\, as well as our own patterns\, instincts and ways of seeing. \nThrough a series of guided prompts\, participants will explore symbolism\, composition and visual storytelling while creating an original collage to take home. \nThe workshop will consider collage as both an artistic practice and a method of inquiry: a way of thinking with images and uncovering meaning through making. \nNo previous artistic experience is necessary. All materials will be provided. Participants are also welcome to bring copies of personal photographs or printed imagery to incorporate into their collage.

SUMMARY:Curator Talks 'Come Fly With Me' | Dublin by Dusk
DESCRIPTION:Join curator Dr Linda King for a tour and discussion of the exhibition ‘Come Fly with Me: Aviation\, tourism and Irish design’. \n‘Come Fly with Me’ looks at the developing design landscape in Ireland during the 1940s\, 50s\, and 60s through the lens of aviation and tourism-related graphic design. With the arrival of a number of skilled Dutch graphic designers in Ireland in the mid-twentieth century\, depictions of Ireland and Irishness were forever changed. The central role of Aer Lingus\, Dublin Airport\, and other associated groups in the development of Irish graphic design is examined\, showing how our desire to reach the skies brought design to new heights. \nSupported by the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport through the After Hours at the Museum Scheme. \nBooking essential. \nNote: This tour will be conducted in the temporary exhibition space on the Mezzanine level\, which is regrettably not accessible to wheelchair users.
