In The Dream Pool Intervals, Ailbhe Ní Bhriain collages colonial portraiture, catastrophic ruins, and geological time into a surreal and unsettling vision. The Quiet Collapse brings together artists, critics, and scholars to reflect on how the ruins of empire, ecological devastation, and war shape contemporary anxieties. What role can art play in confronting collapse, and how might the symbolic or dreamlike open new ways of sensing and imagining the future?
Join us for this morning of talks and discussion as part of the programme for the exhibition Ailbhe Ní Bhriain: The Dream Pool Intervals.
Free, book on Eventbrite or come on the day subject to availability.
