The Waking Walls -OLD

The ruin of a round stone castle sits on a tiny island on a lake, the island is just big enough for the tower. One side of the tower has crumbled away. Trees surround the island and disappear into the water, birds fly across the sky. The reflection of the tower is clearly seen in the still water, creating a mirror image. The weather is grey and foggy obscuring the boundary between the water and the sky.

A wholly distinct experience that uniquely draws upon the Irish traditions of lamenting and caoineadh/ keening to express emotions of ecological and climate grief felt due to lost heritage and ecology associated with climate change.

Caoineadh Dúlra

A dark image of intertwined foliage. A mixture of plants typically found in an Irish hedgerow, including ivy, brambles and moss.

Caoineadh Dúlra is a groundbreaking series of events, in conjunction with artist AlanJames Burns’s ambitious theatrical project The Waking Walls (8th & 9th September 2023).

Our Place

An electrifying neon sign featuring a diverse group of abstract figures, each uniquely shaped and glowing in vibrant colours. The figures, representing a diverse range of people, are set against a dark, velvety backdrop, with their light reflecting softly on the floor and curtain behind. To the right, the words 'Our Place' are illuminated in bold, neon letters. Our Place, exhibition image, credit: Daniel Obina Moses, AlanJames Burns, Sinead McCann, Orla Basquille.

Our Place playfully explores themes of happiness, human rights, and a sense of belonging by transforming the McKenna Gallery at Riverbank Arts Centre into a friendly multi-sensory environment through an electric combination of sound art, storytelling, tactile lighting and comfy seating for everyone to enjoy.
