SUMMARY:The Prisoners’ Lens
DESCRIPTION:The OPW presents a new exhibition of secret photographs taken by prisoners using cameras smuggled into Kilmainham Gaol in 1921\, during the War of Independence. \nThis exciting new exhibition\, which highlights the everyday life of prisoners in Kilmainham Gaol\, invites us to see the prison anew\, reminding us of the enduring humanity that can be found in the darkest of places. \nThe photographs featured in ‘The Prisoners’ Lens’ record everyday life in Kilmainham Gaol in 1921. Among the activities they depict are boxing matches\, Irish language classes\, religious services and drama productions. Other photos show the men enjoying the sunshine in the south-facing yards\, cooking food in the kitchen and playing with two dogs they seem to have acquired. \n \nAlso featured are letters written by the prisoners\, including some by a prisoner named Vincie Lawler in which he instructs his mother on how to smuggle in film and developing paper into Kilmainham Gaol by hiding them in a tin of sweets. \nThe prisoners were finally released from Kilmainham Gaol on 8 December 1921 following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. Their release was filmed by British Pathé News\, making it the earliest known film footage of Kilmainham Gaol. This fascinating newsreel is being shown in the Gaol for the first time as part of this exhibition. \nAdmission to the exhibition is open to the public seven days a week. Admission is free. \nImage Caption: Thomas Wall sits in front of laundry drying in a yard of Kilmainham Gaol. Wall was only 16 when imprisoned in Kilmainham and was killed the following year during the Civil War

SUMMARY:Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:The National Concert Hall’s Perspectives series sees many of the leading lights in contemporary music explore the musical present in a series of unique concert experiences.  \nBoundaries between genres are beautifully blurred in this daringly curated series. Steve Reich’s 90th birthday will be celebrated by the Kronos Quartet in a concert focusing on quartets commissioned by Kronos including the seminal Different Trains.  \n \nAn all-star line-up of contemporary jazz masters including Joe Lovano and Jeff “Tain” Watts will pay homage to the staggering legacy of John Coltrane\, in a programme of modern interpretations of his work plus originals inspired by his spirit and music.  \nThe ever probing and experimental hardanger d’amore-fiddle player Caoimhin O Raghallaigh meets fellow sonic navigators Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke for an intimate gig @The Studio.  \nComposer and Guitarist Mary Halvorson will play music from her new album “About Ghosts\, and as if not spoiled for choice already\, American band leader\, drummer\, and beat maker\, Makaya McCraven will be on the main stage playing music from his seminal albums “In the Moment”\, “ In these Times” and his latest release\, “Off the Record”. \nnch.ie

SUMMARY:Vanessa Donoso López (O-O-O)
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting her experiences growing up in Barcelona and living in Ireland for over twenty years\, Vanessa Donoso López’s practice explores identity\, migration\, and cultural behaviours shaped by relocation. Her research on ‘transitional phenomena’ refers to the developmental space between internal and external reality\, where creativity and culture take form\, and identities and relationships are negotiated through objects\, gestures\, and shared practices. She uses primordial and attainable materials like clay\, soil and stones to examine how traditions\, language and values adapt across cultures over time. \nDonoso López’s exhibition explores movement as a strategy for adaptation\, resistance and transformation\, bringing together many material processes including low-fired ceramics\, natural pigments\, water and living plants. The resulting immersive installation includes a large number of ceramic vessels\, objects\, glazing and firing samples\, dyed fabrics and research materials\, and creates a sensitive ecosystem in a state of ongoing change. \nThe microhabitats that make up the installation\, mineral pigments used to dye fabric\, and add new colour to porous clays from different locations\, speak to the permeability of contemporary ecosystems. \nThrough this process\, objects and their surfaces are transformed\, making visible the influence of external factors on material forms\, echoing the ways people in transit adapt to and reshape their surroundings. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a commissioned text by Caterina Almirall with translations in English\, Catalan and Spanish. \nVanessa Donoso López (O-O-O) is supported by an Arts Council Project Award and continues at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios until September 20th.

SUMMARY:No Mirrors Left in Gaza - Miriam McConnon
DESCRIPTION:Miriam McConnon’s new series of work has been informed by her correspondence with families in Gaza over the last two years. \nThe work is focused on locating the soft space within domestic life in a time of war. A space that is resilient and counteracts the hardness of the conflict beyond its fabric walls. The artist examines the dichotic co-existence of these two opposing realities in her paintings. In her paintings she depicts temporary shelters that strive to remain a home.  She elevates the last remaining domestic objects that these families in Gaza possess\, to priceless commodities. Each domestic scene is adorned in patterns from the families’ personal possessions allowing their presence to be felt in the work. \nTwo garments of children’s clothing hang in the sash windows of the gallery. The small jackets are made from medical gauze\, a fabric which originated in Gaza\, hence its name. This fragile fabric gains its strength as a medical bandage for the wounded. These ‘Baby Armours’ are a homage to the tens of thousands of children who have been killed in the genocide in Gaza. \nMiriam also references the archeological documentation of war in her series of ancient pots which carry images of displaced Palestinian families. History is more often narrated through a series of battles\, won and lost. Miriam McConnon’s work aims to document and to archive for future generations\, the overlooked side of this war\, the survival of the domestic living space and its function as a gate keeper of everyday security. \nThis exhibition recognizes the unassuming power of the domestic space to facilitate security and dignity in a time of famine and genocide. \n \n2026 is a milestone year for the artist who\, back in March\, had a solo show at the Europa Gallery\, Dublin\, to mark the Cypriot Presidency of the European Council. We had the pleasure of coordinating the exhibition\, titled Common Fractures\, by invitation of and in collaboration with the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland. We should also congratulate the artist for featuring on the website of the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and in Irish art in Cyprus: Meet Miriam McConnon\, a wonderful film about her practice and work in Cyprus. \nThe official opening takes place at 3pm on Sunday August 30th 2026\, at Olivier Cornet Gallery\, 3 Great Denmark Street\, Dublin 1. The Guest speaker is Alaa Alqaisi\, a Palestinian translator\, writer\, and researcher from Gaza. She holds an MA in Translation Studies and is a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin. \nA special musical event will also take place on Culture Night 2026\, September 18th 2026. \nThe exhibition runs until September 27th 2026.

SUMMARY:Satellite Salon
DESCRIPTION:Black Church Print Studio presents Satellite Salon\, a group exhibition curated by Colin Martin at The Library Project\, Temple Bar. The exhibition brings together two primary conceptual ideas: the print studio as a dynamic site of collective artistic production\, and the salon as a forum for inclusive presentation. \nThe print studio as a site of artistic production is one that facilitates and supports modes of production in printmaking. Print studios are factorial communal spaces that are both inclusive and accessible. They are sustaining spaces that are hands-on and haptic and filled with specialist materials and technical knowledge. Printmakers and artists orbit these spaces supported by their gravitational pull and benefit from the mutual support and opportunity that arises. \n\n\nThe term Salone derives from the French term for a reception space. These spaces contradictorily create an elite space for specialism\, while simultaneously creating a bounded inclusivity within that envelope. The salon typically created a formal device to create commonality between disparate elements. Inevitably hierarchies between genres developed\, the humility of still lives were skyed while history paintings were hung on the privileged eye level. On balance the salon space is an egalitarian one that corresponds to the social nature of spaces such as the Black Church Print Studio. The leveling nature of the print studio is both an intergenerational workspace that accommodates artists working at various levels of experience in a specialist field. \nSatellite Salon is conceived as the inaugural pilot in a series of biennials focused exclusively on printmaking\, this exhibition highlights the essential medium and core discipline underpinning the Black Church Print Studio members’ diverse artistic practices. \n\nSatellite Salon\, curated by Colin Martin\, commissioned by Black Church Print Studio is at The Library Project\, 4 Temple Bar\, Dublin from September 4th–26th 2026.  Opening takes place on Thursday\, September 3rd. Opening Hours: Mon–Fri 11am–6pm; Sat 12pm–6pm

SUMMARY:Kyrre Mogster - Substance to Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Norwegian artist Kyrre Mogster brings Substance to Shadows to Dublin\, presenting a striking series of paintings exploring hedonism\, human folly and the darker side of certainty. \nCreated using ink and oil stick on canvas\, the works are packed with vivid colour and unsettling imagery\, with figures gorging\, gathering and unravelling among recurring motifs of vessels\, limbs\, crowds and empty thrones. \nInspired by the writings of American sociologist Alvin Gouldner\, in a series addressing the dangers of failing to confront and interrogate our ideological biases\, Mogster explores what happens when ideas become rigid and beliefs go unquestioned. \nRather than offering easy answers\, Substance to Shadows invites viewers to sit with contradiction\, doubt and the uncomfortable spaces between conviction and folly. \nThe exhibition runs at Tøn Gallery from September 10th to September 30th. \ntondublin.com

SUMMARY:Music Network presents Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh\, Pauline Scanlon\, Tom Morrow & John Doyle
DESCRIPTION:Four powerhouses from the Irish traditional music scene come together for a special nationwide tour this autumn\, as Music Network marks its 40th anniversary with a collaboration that promises to be pretty special. \nMuireann Nic Amhlaoibh\, Pauline Scanlon\, Tom Morrow and John Doyle bring a wealth of experience\, influences and musical traditions to the stage\, with the quartet drawing on songs and tunes shaped by their different home places and remarkable careers. As John Doyle puts it\, “Each one of us brings nearly a different county to the set.” \n \nExpect exquisite vocal harmonies\, beautifully played fiddle\, flute and guitar\, and fresh takes on traditional repertoire\, alongside new material created especially for the tour. \nWith Muireann’s sean-nós singing and flute playing\, Pauline’s distinctive folk voice\, Tom’s expressive fiddle and John’s celebrated rhythmic guitar style\, this is a serious bit of Irish trad pedigree in one room. \nAnd there’s an added frisson: this particular combination may never happen quite like this again. The musicians are creating a programme specifically for these dates\, making it a musical snapshot of four exceptional artists at one particular moment. \nTouring nationwide from 16 September to 3 October\, with what promises to be a magical evening at The Sugar Club in Dublin amongst the stops. \nTickets and further details here. \nSupported by the Arts Council and Heritage Council.

SUMMARY:Crash Ensemble and NCH presents: Ae Mak X Crash Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Following the release of her acclaimed debut album\, Folk Songs for Mama & Papa\, Irish artist Ae Mak (Aoife McCann) joins forces with Crash Ensemble for a special one-night-only performance at the National Concert Hall. \nAfter years of creating genre-defying\, otherworldly pop and delivering visceral\, kinetic performances across Europe and the UK\, Folk Songs for Mama & Papa marks a quiet yet profound artistic shift. Influenced by artists such as Björk\, Judee Sill\, Aldous Harding and Paul Simon\, the album moves away from character and performance towards something deeply personal and essential. \nRooted in voice\, breath and emotional resonance\, it is a collection of spiritual\, cosmically inspired folk songs that places vulnerability and human connection at its core. \n \n  \nThis special performance centres on songs from the album\, newly arranged for Crash by Barry O’Halpin. Together\, Ae Mak and Crash bring these intimate works to life on stage\, expanding the album’s rich harmonies and emotional depth through the ensemble’s distinctive sound world. \nWritten during a period of heartbreak\, self-questioning and transformation\, the songs are ultimately filled with hope\, humour\, and devotion. \nCrash Ensemble: Credit Brid O’Donovan\nThey explore illumination\, creation and the quiet\, ecstatic belief that we are not alone – that we are spiritual beings having a human experience… “we came from the stars\, you see”. \n\nCrash Ensemble and NCH presents Ae Mak X Crash Ensemble at 8pm on Friday 13th November 2026 at The Studio\, National Concert Hall\, Dublin\n\n‍Tickets €22.00 \nThis performance is made possible with support from the Arts Council of Ireland/An Chomhairle Ealaíon and Dublin City Council. \nFeatured Image: Ae Mak – credit Tim Shearwood
