Rooted in club culture and blurring the line between a gig and a club night, SIGNS is a party series with a wide and diverse music program spanning jazz, soul, funk, trad, world/global, hip hop, disco, and house/techno/electro music, alongside more left-field sounds and beyond.

LOUIS SCULLY (reggae, soul, hip hop)ROOM 3 (DJ, SIDE ROOM)
AVENUE 68 DJ SET (disco, jazz-funk, electronic)
Lavery emerges from the vibrant music scene of Dublin as an electrifying 8-piece collective. Formed in 2023, Lavery brings together seasoned musicians from diverse backgrounds, each contributing a unique flavour to their music, combining Jazz Fusion, Samba and Neo-Soul. With roots in acclaimed music performance colleges such as BIMM and DCU's Jazz Program (Newpark), Lavery's sound reflects a rich blend of cultural diversity and technical excellence. Performances to date include prestigious venues like The National Gallery of Ireland, Whelan's, The Academy and The Sugar Club. Hungry to make their mark on the European scene, Lavery completed their first international tour at multiple UK and Ireland venues and festivals in June 2024. In the same year, they opened for Grammy award-winning artist Sly5thAve in April and R'n'B singer IAMDBB as part of her world tour in September, at the Academy. The band performed at the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival in October and the EFG London Jazz Festival in November of 2024. Web: www.wearelavery.com
Your granny’s secret sauce, Avenue 68, has quickly become a standout act in Ireland’s music scene. Through silky vocals and intricate guitar lines, this infectiously groovy 5-piece crafts a soundscape full of soul and energy. The band has had an incredible run since their debut just over a year ago, grabbing the attention of the likes of Hot Press Magazine and RTÉ 2FM, while earning spots on several Spotify playlists. They have landed major festival bookings too - including Aiken’s Forbidden Fruit and All Together Now festivals, performing on Guinness’ Lovely Days stage, and not one but two sets at Electric Picnic. After standout performances at the Cork Jazz Festival and opening for Joy Crookes on the first night of her tour in the Olympia theatre, Avenue 68 are firmly establishing themselves as a band to watch. Blending R&B, jazz, and funk, they’re quickly building serious momentum - recently selling out their headline show at Whelan’s on 19 February. With a busy summer ahead, headlining the main stage at Forbidden Fruit, a spot on the SXSW London shortlist, and several other festival slots, you’ll want to keep Avenue 68 on your radar.

Alannah Thornburgh is an award-winning instrumentalist and composer from the wild west of Ireland with a focus on traditional Irish harp. Alannah’s music explores her family heritage, reimagining melodies from the Irish harping and American folk & jazz traditions. This cross-genre interaction and juxtaposition of old melodies with contemporary harmonies and technique is interwoven throughout her music, described as being ‘unforced, fluid and utterly at home in her own sound’ (The Irish Times). In February 2025, Alannah released her debut album ‘Shapeshifter’ - a collection of compositions inspired by fairy folklore & mythology in rural Ireland (“Sublime debut from Mayo composer” 9/10 - Hot Press). Alannah was awarded ‘Best Folk Instrumentalist’ at the 2025 RTÉ Folk Awards and she is the current Musician-In-Residence at Carnegie Library, Fingal County Council / Music Network.

Known for his ability to effortlessly move between genres, styles, and tempos, he’s a favorite in the Dublin scene and has shared stages with some of the biggest names in dance music, including Palms Trax, Avalon Emerson, and Gerd Janson. As one half of the Different Rhythm crew, he's dedicated to introducing audiences to new sounds, both on the dance floor and through his monthly show on Dublin Digital Radio.
Platinum Ray (real name Pauly Martin) is a Dublin-based DJ who plays house & disco, sometimes techno & electro, always funk orientated.

Currently he is a resident on Dublin Digital Radio hosting the Heat Werk show with his brother Daragh and guests.

IT’S NOT CLEAR FROM HERE
CCA Derry~ Londonderry, Saturday, August 15 at 12:00 PM GMT+1
CCA Derry~Londonderry in collaboration with Northern Ireland Screen's Digital Film Archive are pleased to present IT’S NOT CLEAR FROM HERE, a group exhibition curated by Ashleigh Wilson, opening as part of New Curating 2026. The exhibition runs from 17 January–14 March 2026 and features work by Thomas Hunter, Sabi Nicholson and Lucy Tevlin.
IT’S NOT CLEAR FROM HERE draws on archival material and lens-based media to explore how images are shaped by time, technology and the act of looking. The exhibition considers the gallery as a space where narratives shift and meaning is continually re-formed. Archives are unearthed and disrupted, environments seep into the gallery space, and obsolete technologies are reanimated. Across photography and film, the works reflect on technological change, environmental crisis and questions of belonging, presenting images as unstable, partial and often elusive.

Scouts Hall Yoga Chapelizod W Brownsauce
Scout Hall Chapelizod, Thursday, August 13 at 08:15 PM GMT+1
Hello, Jack O’Flynn here, or Brownsauce. I’m running a weekly evening yoga class in the newly built Scouts Hall in Chapelizod.
The goal is to make space in the evening to step away from our phones , get our hearts pumping with dynamic movement, and drop into deep somatic relaxation before bed.
How it runs. The first half is dedicated to dynamic warmups. We breaking out of rigid movement patterns and let the body warm and loosen before any traditional yoga postures.
Then the main beat of the class is then structured around foundational yoga asanas. We move through drills and repeated patterns, so people of all levels can learn and deepen their understanding of these core postures, gradually building heat and heart rate so you feel the body has really worked.
Once we’re fully warmed up and loose, we move towards slow movements and yin postures for a real deep stretch. Finally, an extended savasana and body release meditation to end the day softly and drift off to bed, ready for a new one.
Please bring a mat as there are no spares x
• October: classes are €10 flat
• From 1 Nov: €15 drop-in, €12 concession, or a 5-class pass €65I hope to see you there :<)

Gleaming World Unit
The Sugar Club, Thursday, September 10 at 07:30 PM GMT+1
"this is a vital, frequently thrilling calling card from an explosive quintet, whose leader serves compelling notice of his credentials as a composer and bandleader of some distinction.” — All About Jazz
Belfast-based drummer and improvisor Stephen Davis is one of the most sought-after musicians and collaborators working today. He is a member of Anthony Braxton’s ‘The New Standard’ and the Alexander Hawkins Trio, and has worked with Marc Ribot, Evan Parker, Kris Davis, Paul Dunmall, Django Bates, and Van Morrison to name but a few. Davis made his name in the improvising trio Bourne, Davis, Kane, whose debut album Lost Something (Edition Records, 2008) prompted The Guardian's John Fordham to acknowledge the trio's "world class status."
His new project arrived in the form of ‘Gleaming World Unit’, marking a new chapter for Davis, and a first international label release (577 Records, New York City). With a title drawing on sentiments from a letter written by Seamus Heaney, he was inspired by time spent in the Wicklow mountains, being submerged in forests for often hours at a time.
Being surrounded by offerings of the compositional power of the landscape led to a brand-new approach to tune-writing, where improvisation and composition are purposefully blurred, inviting the listener to make their own assessment. Ghosts, forests, old photographs and conversations with elders all fed into a novel sound blending elements of free jazz, punk, contemporary classical, electronics, and art-music
The star-studded ensemble for this run of shows across Dublin, Belfast, and London features Davis lining up alongside renowned pianist Alexander Hawkins, a tour-de-force horn duo with alto saxophonist Angelika Niescier and tenor saxophonist Tom Challenger, and to top it off, these shows are a first venture with double bassist Michael Formanek. A lineup which, aside from Formanek on bass, took its explosive live bow at Moving on Music’s Brilliant Corners jazz festival in Belfast in 2024. The next step for Gleaming World Unit is to present the show across Europe to new audiences, and this tour will be a taste of that.
Each of the album’s eight compositions dances with listeners through a range of emotions and vibes, from playful flirtation to thought-provoking auditory art, wildly bold expressions of that feeling called freedom, some sultry seductions, and beyond. (577 Records). This is a project that inspires you to move through its relentless grooves and melody, and dig into heavier, chunkier, bordering-on-hip-hop approach to percussion. Perhaps best viewed in its dynamic live format, this is all accentuated to another level, revealing more of Davis et al’s creative exploration.
The music was commissioned by Moving on Music with support from Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

Alex Zhang Hungtai (Taiwan/Dirty Beaches)
Whelan's Upstairs, Saturday, February 27 at 08:00 PM GMT
Enthusiastic Eunuch Presents
Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches)
with special guest
Mantua (Elaine Malone)
Saturday 27th February 2027
Upstairs At Whelan’s
Doors 8pm
Tickets €22 + booking via Whelan’s Box Office or https://billetto.ie/e/alex-zhang-hungtai-tickets-1977781
“Expansive epics heavy on spiritual saxophone.” - Bandcamp Daily
“Barking cries that humanized the composition within a timeless atmosphere.” - Parklife DC
“A prayer spoken from another world; the image of luminous specks of life seen in the neon lights of Hong Kong, of a god formed in cracked concrete.” - Tiny Mix Tapes
Alex Zhang Hungtai released several EPs and three albums as Dirty Beaches on cassette-only labels before releasing his fourth full-length, Badlands, in March 2011. Badlands, unlike Zhang’s earlier work, included his vocals on most songs. The album was long listed as a nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize. Drifters/Love Is The Devil followed in 2013, pushing further into no wave, electronic music, jazz and ambient territory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfLrWN2Un2E
After retiring his project Dirty Beaches, he has been focusing on explorations of improvised music, experimental jazz, and his new role as a composer. His newer compositions predominantly works with saxophone, synthesizers, percussion and piano, furthering his research on ritualistic music of liminality. Besides his solo work, he is also a member of a jazz/experimental trio with Portugese minimalist/architect David Maranha, and jazz Drummer Gabriel Ferrandini in Lisbon. Zhang currently works as a composer for film soundtracks, along with acting in independent films.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryiUDFkoixY&list=RDryiUDFkoixY
On June 4, 2017, Zhang appeared in the fifth, David Lynch-directed episode of the revived third season of Twin Peaks. Playing with Dean Hurley and Riley Lynch as part of the group Trouble, Zhang played sax in the scene. The song, Snake Eyes, was issued as a single by Sacred Bones Records.
Zhang has also recorded original film soundtracks for several documentaries, including Water Park (2012) and Who Is Arthur Chu? (2017), in addition to directing music videos for himself and others. In 2018, the film August at Akiko’s had its premiere at film festivals. Directed by Christopher Makoto Yogi and set in Zhang’s childhood home of Hawai’i, the film features Zhang in a leading role, and it also features Zhang’s sax based original score, which was released as a soundtrack album. In 2020, Zhang collaborated on two full length instrumental albums, Longone with Tseng Kuo-Hung and Styx with Pavel Milyakov.
MANTUA is a music project from Elaine Malone (pôt-pot,
Géis)). Influenced by environmental decline, symbolism in the forms of Virgin Mary holograms and the decay of nature. Other influences include the work of Jodorowsky, bogs and death.

Alasdair Roberts & Fredrik Rasten (Drag City Records)
The Cobblestone, North King St, Friday, February 19 at 08:00 PM GMT
Enthusiastic Eunuch Presents
Alasdair Roberts & Fredrik Rasten
The Cobblestone
Friday 19th February
Doors 8pm
Tickets €21.50 + booking via https://billetto.ie/e/alasdair-roberts-fredrik-rasten-tickets-1976452
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHNnHjL805k
The duo of Scottish folk musician Alasdair Roberts and Norwegian experimental musician Fredrik Rasten fuses their respective work with traditional music, folk song and microtonal minimalism. Their first encounter was in the septet Alasdair Roberts & Völvur, which released the LP The Old Fabled River on Drag City Records in 2021.The record combined Roberts’s compositions with versions of Scottish and Norwegian traditional songs.
On Seven Weathers, their forthcoming double album for Drag City Records, Roberts and Rasten focus on traditional Scottish narrative ballads, typically of long duration, where slowly evolving musical materials build up throughout the strophic verse-structure to emphasise the storytelling. They choose ballads with care, favouring time-transcending narrative themes that both bear witness to the day and age of their origin and are relevant to our times, be that politically, culturally or ethically. Both sing and play a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments, Roberts’s clear and unadorned vocal delivery blending with Rasten’s sensibilities of just intonation tuning and timbral qualities of sound.
Seven Weathers is scheduled for release in January 2027, and Roberts and Rasten will concurrently undertake a short album launch tour. Throughout 2024/5 they have enjoyed concerts in Glasgow, Berlin, Prague, Motvind Festival (Norway), Fanø Free Folk Festival (Denmark) and ne:ar Festival (Slovakia), and have an upcoming appearance at Frequency Festival (Chicago, USA) in February 2026 as well as a short Norwegian tour in May 2026.

IT’S NOT CLEAR FROM HERE
CCA Derry~ Londonderry, Saturday, August 8 at 12:00 PM GMT+1
CCA Derry~Londonderry in collaboration with Northern Ireland Screen's Digital Film Archive are pleased to present IT’S NOT CLEAR FROM HERE, a group exhibition curated by Ashleigh Wilson, opening as part of New Curating 2026. The exhibition runs from 17 January–14 March 2026 and features work by Thomas Hunter, Sabi Nicholson and Lucy Tevlin.
IT’S NOT CLEAR FROM HERE draws on archival material and lens-based media to explore how images are shaped by time, technology and the act of looking. The exhibition considers the gallery as a space where narratives shift and meaning is continually re-formed. Archives are unearthed and disrupted, environments seep into the gallery space, and obsolete technologies are reanimated. Across photography and film, the works reflect on technological change, environmental crisis and questions of belonging, presenting images as unstable, partial and often elusive.

Scouts Hall Yoga Chapelizod W Brownsauce
Scout Hall Chapelizod, Thursday, August 6 at 08:15 PM GMT+1
Hello, Jack O’Flynn here, or Brownsauce. I’m running a weekly evening yoga class in the newly built Scouts Hall in Chapelizod.
The goal is to make space in the evening to step away from our phones , get our hearts pumping with dynamic movement, and drop into deep somatic relaxation before bed.
How it runs. The first half is dedicated to dynamic warmups. We breaking out of rigid movement patterns and let the body warm and loosen before any traditional yoga postures.
Then the main beat of the class is then structured around foundational yoga asanas. We move through drills and repeated patterns, so people of all levels can learn and deepen their understanding of these core postures, gradually building heat and heart rate so you feel the body has really worked.
Once we’re fully warmed up and loose, we move towards slow movements and yin postures for a real deep stretch. Finally, an extended savasana and body release meditation to end the day softly and drift off to bed, ready for a new one.
Please bring a mat as there are no spares x
• October: classes are €10 flat
• From 1 Nov: €15 drop-in, €12 concession, or a 5-class pass €65I hope to see you there :<)

A Disentailing Deed
Project Arts Centre, Thursday, August 6 at 11:00 AM GMT+1
Project Arts Centre presents A Disentailing Deed, a visual arts exhibition by Ruth Clinton & Niamh Moriarty exploring how cultural, political and environmental issues are affected by ideas of ‘Irishness’, as shaped by popular constructions of history. Running from 7th August – 10th October 2026 at Project Arts Centre, this event – the artists’ largest presentation to date – will feature video installation, sculpture, painting, and a live music performance.
A Disentailing Deed brings together many strands from the artists’ collaborative practice, drawing on their extensive research into Irish and diasporic histories. Two video installations, originally commissioned for the 41st EVA International—Ireland’s Biennale of Contemporary Arts, have been specially configured for us here at Project Arts Centre. One, presented as a bilingual karaoke-style video, features a newly composed song about land ownership and popular resistance in North Sligo, while the other presents ‘patriotic’ American firework shows as a mirror image of the state violence they commemorate.
A number of historical objects have been hand-replicated by the artists, each chosen for the physical traces and overlapping stories of emigration and political struggle they contain. A newly composed score will accompany the exhibition, inspired by marching tunes once played by the students of the Royal Hibernian Military School in the Phoenix Park, which trained boys for combat in the British Army until the formation of the Irish Free State in 1922.
To launch the event a live concert responding to the exhibition will take place at Project Arts Centre in The Space Upstairs at 7:30pm, featuring Ruth Clinton (Landless, Poor Creature), Aoife Hammond (Surge, Extravision), Eleanor Myler (ØXN, Percolator) and Cormac MacDiarmada (Lankum, Poor Creature). Willie Stewart (Nyahh Records) will keep the vibes going on the decks from 8:30pm in the Bar.
Speaking on the exhibition, Curator of Visual Arts at Project Arts Centre Marysia Więckiewicz says:
“I am very happy to be collaborating with Niamh and Ruth on their remarkable solo exhibition, A Disentailing Deed, which brings together years of research and collaborative practice in one place. It is a privilege to support this ambitious project and to help bring these important stories to audiences at Project Arts Centre.”
Speaking on the work, artists Ruth Clinton & Niamh Moriarty say:
“We are grateful to bring this exhibition to Project Arts Centre. A Disentailing Deed foregrounds stories of contested histories, collective action, and the struggle to authentically remember. It is enriching for us to get to work with Marysia and the team at Project to make an immersive exhibition, extend access through audio and video guides, and programme a series of experimental ancillary events.”

Only Handle it Once
Royal Society of Antiquaries Ireland, Thursday, August 27 at 12:00 PM GMT+1
Only Handle it Once is a collaborative exhibition and publication by artists Cillian Finnerty and Cóilín O’Connell, curated by Alice Quinn Banville. Working from a shared interest in collage as a sculptural methodology, over the past two years Finnerty and O’Connell have produced exhibitions and publications under the title Permanent Mirage. The project takes as its starting point the multiple meanings of the term ‘hoard’: as the compulsive accumulation of (often worthless) objects, the amassing of wealth for its own sake, or as a valuable archaeological find.
Tensions and confluences between these meanings probe at questions of value, time, and speculation and serve as an entry point to consider how value is either accrued or destroyed when objects are removed from circulation. Only Handle it Once proposes the hoard as liberating objects from practical function and commodity status, and therefore having the potential to produce new associational and symbolic meanings. Forming a blended space that integrates the pristine container of the museum (in particular, Ireland’s National Archaeological Museum) and a hypothetical hoarder’s apartment – both spaces in which objects are removed from their typical use- or exchange-values – the exhibition will feature a host of found-object and assemblage artworks which play with questions of value, ownership, and legality.
The exhibition will open on Friday 7th August at 6pm at Dublin’s Royal Society of Antiquaries Ireland, running through August every Thursday - Sunday 12-6pm, or by appointment. An anthology of writing and images will also be launched on the 7th and available for purchase throughout. Edited by Eoghan McIntyre, the publication features newly commissioned texts by Cillian Finnerty, Cóilín O’Connell, Mark Von Schlegell, Chris Lee, Edith Bond, Isadora Epstein, and an essay of photographs taken by Cáit Fahy at the Revenue Museum of Ireland.
Live performances by Dublin and Isadora Epstein will mark the closing of the exhibition at 6pm on Sunday August 30th.
The Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland is located at 63 Merrion Square. The exhibition is on the first floor, accessed via two flights of stairs. Unfortunately the building is not wheelchair accessible. Please contact [email protected] with any queries or press requests.

Working from a shared interest in collage as a sculptural methodology, over the past two years Finnerty and O’Connell have produced exhibitions and publications under the title Permanent Mirage. The project takes as its starting point the multiple meanings of the term ‘hoard’: as the compulsive accumulation of (often worthless) objects, the amassing of wealth for its own sake, or as a valuable archaeological find.
Tensions and confluences between these meanings probe at questions of value, time, and speculation and serve as an entry point to consider how value is either accrued or destroyed when objects are removed from circulation. Only Handle it Once proposes the hoard as liberating objects from practical function and commodity status, and therefore having the potential to produce new associational and symbolic meanings. Forming a blended space that integrates the pristine container of the museum (in particular, Ireland’s National Archaeological Museum) and a hypothetical hoarder’s apartment – both spaces in which objects are removed from their typical use- or exchange-values – the exhibition will feature a host of found-object and assemblage artworks which play with questions of value, ownership, and legality.
The exhibition will open on Friday 7th August at 6pm at Dublin’s Royal Society of Antiquaries Ireland, running through August every Thursday - Sunday 12-6pm, or by appointment. An anthology of writing and images will also be launched on the 7th and available for purchase throughout. Edited by Eoghan McIntyre, the publication features newly commissioned texts by Cillian Finnerty, Cóilín O’Connell, Mark Von Schlegell, Chris Lee, Edith Bond, Isadora Epstein, and an essay of photographs taken by Cáit Fahy at the Revenue Museum of Ireland.
Live performances by Dublin and Isadora Epstein will mark the closing of the exhibition at 6pm on Sunday August 30th.
The Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland is located at 63 Merrion Square. The exhibition is on the first floor, accessed via two flights of stairs. Unfortunately the building is not wheelchair accessible. Please contact [email protected] with any queries or press requests.

aemi’s 2026 touring programme ‘Desire Lines’
The Model, Sligo, Saturday, October 31 at 10:00 AM GMT
aemi’s new touring programme ‘Desire Lines’ premiered at the Irish Film Institute on Thursday 22nd January 2026. Featuring films by Chloe Brenan, Collectif Faire Part, Eóin Heaney, Olivia Normile and Basma al-Sharif, the programme will tour to Irish and international venues across 2026.
Upcoming screenings:
aemi @ The Model: ‘Desire Lines’ – showing from September 2nd to October 31st
aemi & Louth International Film Festival: ‘Desire Lines’ – 25th September
aemi & Mermaid Arts Centre: ‘Desire Lines’ – 6th October
‘Desire Lines’ is a term from the field of landscape architecture used, as Sara Ahmed writes in Queer Phenomenology (2006) to ‘describe unofficial paths, those marks left on the ground that show everyday comings and goings, where people deviate from the paths they are supposed to follow.’ Taken as a whole, the films featured in ‘Desire Lines’ by Basma al-Sharif, Chloe Brenan, Olivia Normile, Collectif Faire Part and Eóin Heaney, offer up a picture of imposed and chosen deviation, a picture that takes in experiences of isolation and displacement alongside those of collective resistance and revelation, taking care to capture the fleeting moments where these possibilities can briefly intersect.
‘Desire Lines’ is aemi’s 2026 touring programme, an annual selection of artist and experimental film that brings together a range of voices from Irish and international contemporary practice.

aemi @ GAZE Film Festival 2026: Joy Boy: A Tribute to Julius Eastman & How to Dance
Irish Film Institute (IFI), Sunday, August 2 at 03:00 PM GMT+1
In collaboration with GAZE Film Festival aemi presents ‘Joy Boy: A Tribute To Julius Eastman’ which sees six filmmakers come together to pay cinematic tribute to the transcendent music, queer activism, and vibrant spirituality of African American composer, performer, and activist Julius Eastman (1940–1990). Originally a classically trained pianist, Eastman became a central figure in New York’s experimental music scene in the late 1970s. His music is known for its slow, cumulative structure, often bearing politically charged titles such as Evil N**** and Gay Guerrilla, marking both a radical compositional stance and an uncompromising political gesture.
Sunday 2nd August @ 15:00 | Irish Film Institute
Join us at the IFI for a screening and Q&A with directors Aileen Ye (How to Dance) and Victoire Karera Kampire (Joy Boy), representing Collectif Faire Part whose film Speech For A Melting Statue features in aemi’s 2026 touring programme, ‘Desire Lines’.
Synopsis:
An homage to Julius Eastman (1940–1980), African American pianist, composer, homosexual – legendary for his voice and his stage presence, who died in poverty. Joy Boy alterates between his music and archival voice recordings – visualised by a trans-national, six-headed collective in four chapters. Inflamed by colonial and life history, raw, radical and crystal clear. Coming from a wide spectrum of theoretical and artistic practices, the directors partake in a complex collaboration, independent and collective at the same time, in solidarity with Eastman and each other. (Barbara Wurm for Berlinale)
Directors: Mawena Yehouessi, Fallon Mayanja, Rob Jacobs, Victoire Karera Kampire, Paul Shemisi, Anne Reijniers
Producers: Rob Jacobs, Victoire Karera Kampire, Fallon Mayanja, Anne Reijniers, Paul Shemisi, Mawena Yehouessi
Belgium | 2026 | Duration: 1h 4m

‘How to Dance’
Aileen Ye | Netherlands, UK | 2026 | 10m
This political dance film studies the body’s capacity to speak in resistance while society is ruled by capital and surveillance. Portraying an impressive performance by Jordan Achiano, who balances intensity and stillness and is captured with great energy and care, the film accompanies his movements with an excerpt from a KRS-One interview, dissecting capitalism and materialism. How to Dance asks us to think about forms of expression beyond the verbal. – Koen de Rooij
Aileen Ye is a film director and writer from Dublin exploring contemporary subcultures and body politics. Her films have internationally screened at festivals including BFI London Film Festival, IFFR, SXSW London, and exhibited at art institutions such as the Barbican, ICA, LUX, FACT Liverpool, Art Rotterdam, and esea Contemporary. In 2023/24, she won Best International Short Documentary for ‘Midnight Rising’ at Dublin IFF, and was a resident curator for Eye Filmmuseum. In 2022, she was mentored by A24. She has worked with NOWNESS Asia, Sevdaliza, and more.

Vanessa Donoso López, '(O-O-O)'
Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Friday, July 24 at 11:00 AM GMT+1
Reflecting her experiences growing up in Barcelona and living in Ireland for over twenty years, Vanessa Donoso López’s practice explores identity, migration, and cultural behaviours shaped by relocation. Her research on ‘transitional phenomena’ refers to the developmental space between internal and external reality, where creativity and culture take form, and identities and relationships are negotiated through objects, gestures, and shared practices. She uses primordial and attainable materials like clay, soil and stones to examine how traditions, language and values adapt across cultures over time.
