SUMMARY:The Magic Glasses | Dublin By Dusk
DESCRIPTION:The year is 1913\, but like a contemporary phone-addicted teenager\, Jaymoney Shanahan spends his days up in the loft staring into his magic glasses\, hearing strange music and seeing incredible visions. \nHis distraught parents finally call in the fabled Morgan Quille\, hoping he can cure this incurable of his wicked ways. Is Quille a genuine faith healer or a fake of a quack doctor? What will happen when a violent exorcism is attempted in this Kerry country kitchen? \nWith riotous humour\, language of astonishing richness\, and the highest of hi-jinx\, The Magic Glasses is a mini-masterpiece by this under-celebrated playwright\, a Kerry magician of singular genius\, George Fitzmaurice. \nDon’t miss the rare chance to see this glorious gem of a play.

SUMMARY:Comhghall Casey
DESCRIPTION:Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host an exhibition of new paintings by award-winning artist Comhghall Casey. In this much anticipated solo exhibition\, his first in four years\, Casey presents a new body of masterful studies in oil which observe in detail the extraordinary qualities of ordinary items. \n  \nCasey’s intimate and often nostalgic still-lives celebrate objects from everyday life\, ranging from blocks of cheese to beach toys which are singled out and meticulously observed. His compositions are universally simple\, where the object is placed centrally against a neutral background\, amplifying it’s presence and highlighting the artist’s skill and spectacular attention to detail. \n  \nBorn in 1976 Casey grew up in Omagh\, Co Tyrone before moving to Belfast to study fine art at the University of Ulster. In 2000 he moved to Dublin where he has since been living and working. \n  \nCasey has twice appeared on Sky television’s Portrait Artist of the Year competition. His self-portraits were shortlisted for the esteemed BP Portrait Awards in the UK in 2002\, 2013 and 2015 and subsequently hung in the National Portrait Gallery\, London\, the National Scottish Portrait Gallery\, Edinburgh and the Ulster Museum\, Belfast. His portraits have also been shortlisted for the Zurich (formerly Hennessy) Portrait Awards at the National Gallery of Ireland in 2014\, 2017\, 2019\, 2020 & 2023. Casey has exhibited regularly in the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in London and has received numerous awards at the RHA and RUA Annual Exhibitions including the prestigious Hennessey Craig Scholarship. In 2015 An Post issued an edition of stamps featuring Casey’s toy paintings. In 2017 he was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Ulster Academy. \n  \nCasey’s work features in many notable collections including the National Self Portrait Collection\, The Ulster Museum\, The Arts Council of Northern Ireland and The Office of Public Works.

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:James Joyce Centre Walking Tours

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with David Costello
DESCRIPTION:David Costello will join us within EPIC to discuss Mark O’Neill’s book The Irish in Hong Kong\, a book that delves into the connection between Ireland and China\, and how our diaspora has had an influence on the development of Hong Kong. \nCopies of The Irish in Hong Kong by Mark O’Neill will be available to purchase on the night\, with a book signing following the event. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. \nAbout the Book\nThe Irish have played an extraordinary – if little known – role in the construction and development of Hong Kong\, in government\, the army\, police\, judiciary\, finance and in civil society – schools\, hospitals\, churches and welfare institutions. Ireland provided nine Governors\, five Chief Justices\, two Chiefs of Police and one head of Special Branch. Also nuns who cured the city of tuberculosis and priests and ministers who founded high-quality schools that have transformed the lives of thousands of Hong Kong people. They are flourishing today and are the choice of many parents. In sport\, also\, the Irish have made a great contribution – racing\, the Rugby Sevens and\, most famously\, Siobhan Haughey\, the first Hong Kong athlete to win four Olympic medals. This is the first book to give a comprehensive and detailed account of this Irish history. \nAbout the Author\nMark O’Neill was born in London\, England\, the son of an Irish father and Scottish mother. He was educated at Marlborough College and New College\, Oxford. He worked in Washington\, DC\, Manchester and Belfast before coming to Hong Kong in 1978. In Belfast\, he covered the Troubles and learnt about his family and their history. He has lived in Asia ever since. He worked as a journalist for 30 years here\, in Taiwan\, India\, the PRC and Japan\, for Reuters\, SCMP and many other publications. Since 2006\, he has been writing books on Chinese\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong and Macau history and society. He has completed 21 in English\, four of them on Irish topics. Eight have been translated into traditional Chinese and three into simplified Chinese. He speaks French\, Mandarin and Cantonese. \nEndorsements of The Irish in Hong Kong\n“An excellent and informative work on the contribution of so many Irish people to the development of Hong Kong.” – Ian Candy\, former Principal Magistrate\, Hong Kong Judiciary.

SUMMARY:Dead Pioneers
DESCRIPTION:Dead Pioneers emerged as a dynamic extension of vocalist Gregg Deal’s performance art\, seamlessly blending music with critical cultural commentary. Rooted in the same themes of identity and resistance that define his visual work\, the band’s sound acts as a powerful platform for addressing the complexities of Indigenous experience. Deal harnesses the raw energy of post-punk and alternative influences to challenge prevailing narratives\, using lyrics that provoke thought and evoke emotion. Just as his performance art confronts the legacies of colonization and systemic marginalization\, Dead Pioneers – completed by Josh Rivera and Abe Brennan on guitars\, bassist Lee Tesche (Algiers) and drummer Shane Zweygardt – engages audiences in a visceral dialogue about survival\, resilience\, and reclamation of voice. This musical endeavor not only amplifies his artistic vision but also creates a space for collective expression and solidarity\, inviting listeners to reflect on the intersections of culture\, history\, and identity in a contemporary context. Through Dead Pioneers\, Deal continues to assert that art\, in all its forms\, can be a powerful vehicle for activism and change.

SUMMARY:Launch of Celibacy in Irish Women's Writing
DESCRIPTION:Please join The James Joyce Centre for the launch of a new special issue and podcast series dedicated to the untold history of Ireland’s unmarried women. \n\n\n\n\nCelibacy in Irish Women’s Writing\, edited by Dr. Paul Fagan\, is an open-access Humanities special issue dedicated to less familiar feminist\, queer\, and activist versions of celibacy in Irish women’s movements and literature. Boasting new research from leading experts in Irish women’s writing\, the essays explore representations of unmarried and widowed women in writing by Elizabeth Bowen\, Kate O’Brien\, Mary Lavin\, Molly Keane\, Eva Gore-Booth\, Edna O’Brien\, and more\, in order to better understand the historical trajectories of the ‘female celibate’ as a political and cultural figure in Ireland. \nIn the accompanying podcast series Unmarried Sisters\, Dr Paul Fagan speaks to leading figures in Irish\, gender\, and sexuality studies to learn more about historical collaborations and the bonds formed between differently celibate Irish women—whether in friendships\, romantic relationships\, creative collaborations or forms of political and revolutionary organisation—and to explore celibacy’s imbrications with first-wave feminist politics\, patterns of queer kinship\, and Irish literary modernism. \nThe special collection and podcast will be launched by Prof. Katherine Ebury (incoming UCD James Joyce Chair)\, with additional remarks by the editor Dr. Paul Fagan (University of Vienna) and contributors Prof. Anne Fogarty (UCD)\, Prof. Maureen O’Connor (UCC)\, Dr. Deirdre Foley (TCD) and Dr. Fae McNamara (Teesside University). \nThe special issue and podcast series were made possible by the support of the Research Ireland project Celibacy in Irish Women’s Writing\, 1860s–1950s (GOIPD/2022/634). \nRefreshments will be provided. The event is free but booking is essential. \nThe James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport.

SUMMARY:Pansy Division
DESCRIPTION:Pansy Division is a gay pop-punk formed in San Francisco in 1991.​ There have been gay musicians throughout rock music history\, but when Pansy Division began they were one of the first to be so boldly open about it.  Founded by guitarist/singer Jon Ginoli and bassist/vocalist Chris Freeman\, with the intent of forming a gay rock band\, ​and joined later by drummer Luis Illades and guitarist Joel Reader\,​ Pansy Division blew the closet doors open. \nRaised on a diet of 60s pop and 70s punk\, their sound was suitably crunchy and catchy as hell. They wrote in-your-face lyrics\, but did it with a sense of humor. Not only did their music and stance defy stereotypical norms of rock musicians being openly gay\, they also broke gay cultural stereotypes that rock wouldn’t interest gay people. ​ \nWriting upbeat catchy songs and combining them with overtly sexual and sometimes humorous lyrics\, Pansy Division toured North and America and Europe in the ’90s and developed a cult following worldwide that exists to this day. They took a stand poking fun at homophobes and asserting a positive message of inclusion while singing about topics rarely heard in the world of rock and punk. They have been going for over 30 years and their approach remains relevant now.

It was a theater\, dance\, music and literature festival and the theme was the rise of fascism in Europe. They asked me to do a two hour talk on the relationship of government and love. I don’t often get assignments but this one was irresistible. Since then this talk has taken several forms\, all called The Republic of Love. \nThe Republic of Love with Sexmob and guests is a collection of songs and stories about the current state of America\, with some history thrown in. It features several of my songs– among them Big Science and Language Is A Virus­– that have new meanings in 2026. It also features the words and thoughts of many Americans from Bob Dylan\, Lou Reed\, John Cage\, Gertrude Stein\, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. The Republic of Love is a celebration of freedom.” Laurie Anderson \nLaurie Anderson is a writer\, director\, composer\, visual artist\, musician and vocalist who has created groundbreaking works that span the worlds of art\, theater\, experimental music\, and technology.
