Salamah on Sullivan’s Quay
In August 2022 the gable at the corner of Sullivan's Quay and Drinan Street carried Joe Caslin's portrait of Salamah, a woman seeking asylum in Ireland, with two huge hands held over her head like a roof. It was part of A Story of Home, a Cork Midsummer Festival project made with the Cork Migrant Centre. While I stood there a woman in a pink hijab pushed a buggy across the road in front of it.

The Sun Inside Cork’s Historic Cathedral
Step inside St Fin Barre’s Cathedral this week, and you’ll be greeted not just by the soaring Gothic arches and intricate stained-glass, but by a blazing sun right in the heart of Cork. The Helios exhibition, a six-metre-wide glowing sculpture by UK artist Luke Jerram, has transformed the cathedral’s nave into a cosmic spectacle for the Cork Midsummer Festival. The installation is more than just a visual treat. It’s a full sensory experience, with detailed solar imagery and a soundtrack of real NASA recordings of the sun. It’s a surreal and awe-inspiring blend of old and new: the ancient spirit of the cathedral meets the cutting edge of contemporary art, inviting visitors to reflect on the power and presence of the sun in a truly unique setting.
The Helios sculpture is built to scale, with each centimetre representing 2,300 km of the real sun’s surface, and features detailed representations of sunspots and solar flares, all accompanied by a soundtrack of live NASA recordings of the sun.
