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.

Get More Information -/> 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" To find out more about the Facebook demonstration click on the image below:  Click on the Image below to read more  |
