Kite-Making Workshop with Thaís Muniz and Lucas Paranhos
The Dock Arts Centre, Saturday, July 11 at 02:00 PM GMT+1
Join visual artist Thaís Muniz and kite-maker Lucas Paranhos for a kite-making workshop on Saturday 11 July, 2—5pm. Participants will learn step-by-step how to make their own kite and, by the end of the workshop, will leave with their own creation. Weather-permitting, we will fly our kites together.
Suitable for all ages and abilities. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All materials are provided. Workshop fee is €10 including light refreshments.
Thaís Muniz is a Brazilian-Irish visual artist and researcher working across multiple mediums to explore the intersections of inherited and acquired identities, memory, transit, and inward love. Her community-oriented practice unfolds through intimate communal learning processes, including workshop, performance, installation, sculpture, and film. Her work also spans photography, celebrations, and activations, often incorporating archives, personal memorabilia, and symbology.
For further information and access requests, please contact Curator Erika Mei Chua Holum at [email protected].

The Green Loy — Celebrating Folk Art
The Dock Arts Centre, Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 AM GMT+1
Is a cock of hay a work of art? Is a loy more than a tool to turn the sod? Is a dresser more than the sum of its contents?
The Green Loy is a new exhibition at The Dock that brings these questions into focus through a celebration of local folk art and culture. A cock of hay, a loy, and a vividly reimagined dresser form part of a vision that elevates everyday objects into the realm of art.
The Green Loy is grounded in the life and traditions of Leitrim and the north-west, paying tribute to the renowned American folklorist, Henry Glassie. The exhibition is curated by writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods, ceramic artist Katy West, and dancer and community artist Edwina Guckian.
The exhibition will also include a tin fiddle, Leitrim chairs, cow and donkey masks, patchwork and crochet work, all by local makers, and a site-specific wall painting by visual artist Miriam de Búrca.
Musician and composer Dave Sheridan has composed a new tune, ‘The Green Loy’, especially for the exhibition and its associated events. A striking poster design was created by musician and graphic artist Jesse Smith, who has strong associations with both Leitrim and The Dock.
The Pat Collins documentary Field Work, exploring the work and vision of Henry Glassie, will be screened at The Dock on Saturday 18 July. Glassie lived and worked in Fermanagh in the 1970s and wrote a series of remarkable books inspired by the people and traditions of Ballymenone. A frequent visitor to Leitrim, he is a passionate advocate for the proper acknowledgement of people’s work and the quiet artistry of individual lives.
Also on Saturday 18 July, a Bring and Tell day, as part of the exhibition, will invite visitors to bring an object or item that they consider to be an example of folk art to show and discuss in the gallery space.
A concert to celebrate The Green Loy will take place on Saturday 25 July, featuring storytelling, music, song, dance, and spoken word. Guests will include singer and storyteller Alan Woods from Mohill and the Irish Traditional Music Archive, storyteller Eithne Ní Ghallchobair from Donegal, celebrated Leitrim singer Fionnuala Maxwell, Kilkenny-Leitrim uilleann piper and composer John Tuohy, and local dancers.
Music, dance, and poetry will also feature at local marts through Art at the Mart — presented in association with The Green Loy exhibition.
The opening reception with special performances will take place on Saturday 20 June, 2pm to 4pm. No booking required. Admission is free.
The exhibition will run Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm. No booking required. Admission is free.
Tickets for Field Work (free) and The Green Loy concert (€25/€20) will be released following the opening reception and available through The Dock — advance booking is advised. -

The Kite Ballet — Thaís Muniz
The Dock Arts Centre, Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 AM GMT+1
The Kite Ballet is a multidisciplinary series comprising the eponymous film, alongside textiles and sculpture. The work reflects on territoriality, community, joy, and degrowth, while advocating for play in adulthood as a revolutionary act.
The Kite Ballet by Thaís Muniz intertwines poetic and mythical elements with political, historical, and symbolic themes, amplifying the voices of local activists from the Itapuã area in Salvador, Brazil. The film portrays a group of kite runners in their weekly communal ritual, highlighting the threat of private development and ecological displacement of Afro-Indigenous sacred territory, where joy and spiritual practices have thrived for centuries. The film advocates for play and negotiation with nature as revolutionary acts.
Thaís Muniz is a Brazilian-Irish visual artist and researcher working across multiple mediums to explore the intersections of inherited and acquired identities, memory, transit, and inward love. Her community-oriented practice unfolds through intimate communal learning processes, including workshop, performance, installation, sculpture, and film. Her work also spans photography, celebrations, and activations, often incorporating archives, personal memorabilia, and symbology.
Muniz’s practice engages with the reimagination of realities through mechanisms of refusal, dreaming, and personal magic, challenging and expanding canonical systems of representation, building connections, and opening conversations. A central aspect of her work involves activating spaces through presence and critically engaging with the geopolitics of place.

Eco Print Workshop — The Colours of Sliabh an Iarainn
The Dock Arts Centre, Thursday, May 14 at 06:00 PM GMT+1
Helen O’Leary and Kim Flick will lead an evening eco-printing workshop for artists and communities at The Dock, working directly with the materials of Sliabh an Iarann—its plants, waters, and iron-rich soils. This is an evening session focusing on eco-printing, working more closely with leaves and plant forms to make direct impressions on cloth and paper, offering a quieter, more intimate way of engaging with the materials.
This is a fun evening of making on Thursday 14 May, 6—8pm—no experience required—slow, physical, and grounded in the Leitrim landscape. All materials supplied. Booking required—tickets are €5 including refreshments.
Helen O'Leary is a Wexford-born artist best known for constructions that blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture. She holds BFA and MFA degrees from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Based between New York and Leitrim, her work has been widely recognised through awards and residencies including the Rome Prize American Academy in Rome; New Jersey Fellowship for the Arts; the Hennessy Purchase Award, IMMA, Dublin; the Purchase Award American Academy of Arts and Letters; the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship; the Pollock-Krasner awards; the Joan Mitchell Award for painting and sculpture; the Centre Culturel Irlandaise, France; the Sam and Adele Golden Residency, NY; the Mac Dowell Fellowship, New Hampshire; the Skowhegan program, ME; and the Yaddo Residency, NY.
Kim Flick is a mixed media artist, sharing her passion for creativity as a Visual Arts Instructor through workshops, retreats, and community events in addition to the credit courses taught at The Pennsylvania State University. She holds degrees in Drawing & Painting and Equine Science from Penn State University and an MFA from The Vermont College of Fine Art.
Born in Bellefonte and raised in the foothills of the Bald Eagle Mountains, she is a native daughter of the PA Wilds. She keeps it local with membership and service in various community organizations: Central PA Pastel Society, The Farmland Preservation Artists, The Art Alliance, Clinton County Arts Council, and America's oldest art organisation, The Philadelphia Sketch Club. Kim is listed on the juried artist registries of The Bellefonte Art Museum and The Pennsylvania Wilds Artisans. She promotes and demonstrates sustainable studio practices, eco-friendly products and artistic environmental projects.

Uisce Sionainn / Flora Liatromensis
The Dock Arts Centre, Saturday, May 16 at 11:00 AM GMT+1
The Uisce / Flora series of river walks was developed by Anna Macleod and textile designer Katie May Anderson as a transferable model for performative community river walking to celebrate the transformative power of water. The event will include talks by guest speakers on ethnobotany and river regeneration, and the launch of a zine with an essay by Dr. Phillina Sun. Followed by a light lunch.
Anna Macleod is a Scottish-Irish visual artist, researcher, and educator based in the Northwest of Ireland.

She has been awarded the International Atlantic Artist Residency Exchange in Newfoundland with CRUX and Artlink in 2026.
Katie May Anderson is a freelance textile artist and designer based in Glasgow, Scotland. Katie works on various community arts projects across the UK, primarily in the heritage sector. Throughout all her work, collaboration and co-production are crucial, with participants empowered to engage in creative and collaborative expression, building connections and skills development. She has worked in numerous heritage sites in Scotland including Stirling Castle, Castle House Museum, and co-ordinated the Charabancs and Cadillacs project, a community quilt for Community Transport Newham. In 2025 she worked with communities on a textile banner for the ‘Grace’ project at Stirling Castle and a textile map for the Edinburgh Deaf Festival.

Title: Tumuli (Premiering at The Dock)
By: Orla McHardy
Soundtrack: Eimear Reidy
Runtime: 8 min 54 secDescription:
Tumuli takes its name from the tumulus — mounds of earth and stone raised over graves. A mound, a heap, a stack: a burial site, a flowerbed in a back garden, a compost heap, a pile of dirty dishes.Commissioned in 2022 by Hunter’s Moon, the film emerged from a collaboration between Orla McHardy and Eimear Reidy for a live event at The Swan Lake Inn, Effrinagh, Co. Leitrim. Drawing inspiration from her home and garden, McHardy created the visual world of Tumuli, while Reidy gathered field recordings onsite and composed a musical score in direct response to the film’s textures and rhythms.
McHardy, an artist based in the Northwest, works across expanded animation, video, text, documentary, collage, and sculptural installation. Her practice often engages questions of value and invisibility, particularly around the hidden time of care, love, and labour.

Title: Forest/ry
By: Noelle Gallagher
Soundtrack: Natalia Beylis & Eimear Reidy
Runtime: 7 min 18 secDescription:
Forest/ry observes a landscape in transition at Derryclare, on the edge of the Twelve Bens in Connemara. Noelle Gallagher follows the felling of Sitka spruce plantations, revealing the sharp contrast between industrial forestry and the neighbouring ancient oak forest — where dense, silent monoculture gives way to vibrant, biodiverse life.Through atmospheric sound and imagery, the film reframes deforestation not simply as loss, but as a precursor to ecological renewal. As part of Gallagher’s wider Fractals and Jay Birds project, the film reflects on restoration, interdependence, and the delicate relationship between human intervention and natural systems. What emerges is a restrained but hopeful vision of regeneration rising from disruption.

Title: Land and Brass
By: Nick Farramond
Runtime: 13 min 2 secDescription:
Land and Brass documents an exhibition and body of work commissioned by Culture Coop, bringing together sound artist Sophie Cooper and Milnrow Brass Band. First presented at Rochdale Exchange in June 2025, the project merges experimental sound practices with the long-standing brass band traditions of Rochdale and the Pennines.Developed with input from a community steering group, the work explores the meeting point between contemporary composition and local musical heritage. Inspired by damaged brass instruments at Rath’s Trombones in Huddersfield, Cooper reimagined these broken instruments as part of a bespoke sound system — allowing them a final, transformed voice.
The installation features Echoes and Reclamation, a composition for brass quintet that draws on the structures of traditional brass writing, reshaped through repetition, distortion, and field recordings tied to Milnrow’s landscape. The project also features artistic responses from members of Ebor Studio, supported by The Outlands Network.

Soft Spot — Helen O'Leary
The Dock Arts Centre, Friday, March 27 at 10:00 AM GMT
The Dock presents Soft Spot, an exhibition by Irish artist Helen O’Leary that foregrounds reuse, repair, and ecological thinking as generative artistic strategies.
Raised in rural Ireland in the 1960s and 70s, O’Leary’s formative ethos — “if you can’t make it, you can’t have it” — continues to inform her materially rigorous practice. Over decades, she has developed a distinctive formal language built from modest materials and unglamorous gestures: dismantled supports, reused canvases, exposed joins, residual paint. Her works occupy a dynamic space between painting and sculpture, blurring categorical boundaries while insisting on the physicality of their making.
O’Leary’s constructions respond to what she describes as a “flipbook of faith, money, possibility, belief, absurdity, disappointment, and the ethical collapse of so many systems that never worked for so many.” At The Dock, this sensibility is sharpened through what might be termed a form of studio archaeology: earlier works are disassembled into rudimentary slabs and reconstituted, transforming failure and obsolescence into fertile ground. Grids buckle, supports tilt, surfaces carry the memory of prior use. Fragility and resilience coexist in what the artist has described as an “ecology of form.”
Soft Spot situates painting as a site of rupture and restoration. Through circular processes of reuse and repair, O’Leary aligns artistic method with regenerative thinking and ethical making. The exhibition also activates her commitment to environmental practice and local engagement. Elements of The Sustainable Studio, developed with artist Kim Flick, will unfold during the exhibition alongside glimpses into the artist’s dye garden and a DIY museum initiative — durational and participatory frameworks that extend the gallery into a space of collective enquiry.
In Soft Spot, vulnerability is not weakness but structural condition: a means through which inherited systems — aesthetic, ecological, institutional — may be taken apart and reimagined.

Tír Breac / Speckled Land — Anna Macleod
The Dock Arts Centre, Saturday, March 21 at 10:00 AM GMT
Tír Breac / Speckled Land is the latest iteration of an ongoing project that considers our human relationship to nature and place through ‘speckled ways of seeing’, defined as a Celtic perceptual attentiveness to the seen, heard, and felt granular details of a place. ‘Speckled ways of seeing’ implicates the lens of indigenous knowledge passed down through oral histories and ritual landscapes, which this work combines with organic materials and heritage craft practices to critique modern knowledge of land and nature.
The Gaelic culture of Ireland and Scotland sought to understand nature, through the solar and lunar cosmologies of the Neolithic standing stone and henge sites, and by mapping the mysteries of place through the Dindsenchas and other epic mythological cycles. Tír Breac refers to these ancient cosmologies through its attention to the calendrical festivals that mark the changing seasons in the agricultural cycle: Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasadh. Speckled ways of seeing involve an intimate understanding of the land through the seasons, as light, pattern, and colour constantly shift by the minute, the hour, and the season.
Moreover, speckled ways of seeing entail a sensitivity to a world inhabited by Others. In Celtic folklore and mythology, flora and fauna have shapeshifting qualities. A salmon can give wisdom to the person who eats its flesh. The wind has colours. The bark, fruit, and leaves of trees can heal or harm. Gods and goddesses rule the light and the dark. These other-than-human entities can appear in liminal spaces and the thresholds of seasons.
This series of works explores speckled seeing by employing organic materials and heritage land practices to ‘trouble’ contemporary understanding of nature. The following materials were predominantly sourced in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and the Northwest of Ireland: hay and straw, found bog oak, hawthorn from fallen lone trees (hUath / Sceath Gheal), and blackthorn wood (Draighneán Donn) thinned from the hedgerow. Research has drawn extensively on archives and artifacts in local and national museums in Ireland and Scotland. Groundwork also included time spent with local historians, musicians, storytellers, crofters, and Harris tweed weavers, as well as with Leitrim farmer, storyteller, and writer Gerry Bohan, with whom the artist has an ongoing working partnership.
