Iraqi-Kurdish Artist 1st Solo Exhibition In Ireland

22/10/2021

0 Comments

 

​Hiwa K: Do you remember what you are burning?       

In 1996, at age 21, the Iraqi-Kurdish artist Hiwa K fled Kurdistan on foot, embarking on a journey to Europe that lasted five months and twenty days. He lived in Germany for almost two decades and in 2020 he moved back to his birthplace of Sulaymaniyah, in Kurdistan. Do you remember what you are burning? is Hiwa K’s first solo exhibition in Ireland, bringing together works created over the past ten years.
The exhibition’s title is taken from one of the featured artworks, Do you remember what you are burning? (2011-17), for which the artist invited students to bring a book of choice to the old town square Saray Azadi (Freedom Square), Sulaymaniyah, the site of many anti-government protests. They quietly read these books with a magnifying glass, focusing the sun’s rays and erasing the books’ contents letter by letter. Read More -/>

The Galway Film Fleadh nis taking place entirely online from Tuesday July 7th – Sunday July 12th.

3/7/2020

0 Comments

 
MoreThe Galway Film Fleadh now in our 32nd year is taking place entirely online from Tuesday July 7th – Sunday July 12th.Tuesday July 7th we will present this year’s Opening Night film, The 8th, a documentary telling how Ireland overturned one of the world’s most restrictive abortion laws, and in doing so enabled the emergence of a more liberal Irish society. From directors Aideen Kane, Lucy Kennedy and Maeve O’ Boyle, the 8th focuses on some key pro-choice campaigners as they battled for the hearts and minds of the Irish people in the run-up to the 2018 referendum. Click here to explore our full programme of films.
Despite the remote viewing and lack of mass-gatherings, we will continue to provide plenty of avenues for all those who want to ‘talk shop.’ Q+A’s will be live-streamed, with audience questions taken from social media. Panel discussions will be hosted as webinars. And live-streamed In Conversation events with celebrated filmmaking talents will all feature, with the full roster set to be revealed between now, and the festival’s Opening Night on Tuesday, July 7th.
Galway Film Fleadh Programme Director Will Fitzgerald said:
“I hope everyone is as pleasantly surprised as I was at the breadth and diversity, and opportunities for discovery, we managed to pack into this digital programme. I’m grateful to all of the filmmakers who have taken this leap with us, and who are on this journey with us now. We’re bringing the Fleadh to the masses, for a change. I’m looking forward to making each of their films part of a national conversation from July 7th to 12th.”
Films have been scheduled in the traditional fashion, with new films ‘premiering’ at designated times during each day of the festival. All selected films are available to rent from our website, and viewed across multiple devices. You can watch the Fleadh films on your television via video-casting or through an HDMI connection to a portable device. Tickets are incentively priced from as low as €5. There are only a limited number of tickets available for each film.
“This will be the most accessible the Film Fleadh has ever been before. But crucially, there are only as any tickets available as there are seats in the Town Hall Theatre. So for audience members who are reading this – book early, and book often!”
Tickets are on sale now online.galwayfilmfleadh.com
The Galway Film Fleadh is funded by The Arts Council, Galway 2020, Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, Creative Europe, TG4, Failte Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) and Galway City Council.

Philip Gray - Live Art Demonstration on Facebook

27/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Philip Gray will do a live painting demonstration on Facebook tomorrow 28th April from 12 midday and everyday for the rest of the week.
Philip is Irish & lives in Kinsale. He used to be a Gunner & a Diver in the Irish Navy but was always a very talented artist. He is a very nice person and you should get benefit from his demonstration if you are interested in painting.
He says of himself : "I was born in Cork and we lived here until I turned six, then my parents, Albert and Wendy decided to move to Dublin for a few years. Without doubt my passion for the sea can be traced back to my childhood in Cork. I inherited my creative and adventurous spirit from my mother’s side of the family, a lineage that very fittingly nurtured both sailors and artists. Among my siblings there is a graphic designer and an interior designer, so creativity is certainly in the blood"

Sea Eagle Webcam;- Glengarriff Nature Reserve

15/4/2020

Click on the image below to visit the website
Picture
This live-streaming webcam was set up by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to monitor a pair of white-tailed sea eagles breeding in County Cork. White-tailed sea eagles became extinct in Ireland over 100 years ago but were brought back as part of a reintroduction programme: from 2007 to 2011 one hundred eagle chicks were brought from Norway and released in Killarney National Park. They have since dispersed around Ireland and there are now around a dozen pairs breeding in counties Cork, Kerry, Clare, Tipperary and Galway.
The birds on this live webcam are Black P (female) and Blue W (male), both of whom were brought to Ireland as part of the reintroduction programme. In 2016, a pair of eagles at this nest raised the first eagle chick to fledge in Co Cork in over a century. However, in 2018 the original female (Green D) was ousted by a younger female P. This new pairing has yet to fledge a chick so we will watch with bated breath to see if they can succeed in 2020.
