The Hugh Lane Gallery’s Make and Be programme is one that particularly welcomes international participants and encourages participants to speak in the language that they feel most comfortable with.
Make and Be is our cultural mediation programme.
This January 2024, and continuing from autumn 2023 our Make and Be programme is in Irish and is led by artist Bríd Higgins Ní Chinnéide on Friday afternoons from 22 September – 27 October and then from 12 – 27 January.
Beginning in March, we are excited to have a zine-making workshop programme for Nigerian-Irish families with zine-maker, writer and storyteller Victory Nwabu-Ekeoma and artist Rema Hamid.
In Spring 2023 the iteration of this project ran on Friday afternoons from February to June 2023 was facilitated by artist Olga Knukova, with assistance from artist Olga Khomiak who both speak Ukrainian and English.
