SUMMARY:Undercurrent: As Below\, So Above
DESCRIPTION:Undercurrent: As Below\, So Above brings together the work of Kat Austen\, Lauren Moffatt and Siobhán McDonald developed during their participation in S+T+ART4WaterII in residence in Galway\, Belfast and Dublin port. The projects explore and reflect on ports as interdisciplinary liminal spaces for reimagining our entanglements with water\, technology\, and ecology. \nLauren Moffatt’s Chorcorallium immerses visitors in speculative reef ecologies where industrial debris becomes the foundation for imagined coral life\, shaped by collective voices and artificial intelligence. \nKat Austen’s ~~ Not Breaking ~~ ~~ This Wave Drowns Hate ~~ listens to the ocean through microplastics and community-created AI\, offering visions of symbiotic futures. \n \nSiobhán McDonald’s SHAPESHIFTER traces Dublin Port’s shifting identities\, from wetlands to rising seas\, layering scientific data with film\, painting\, and sculpture to reveal unseen histories and fragile futures. \nTogether\, these works transform ports and oceans into sites of imagination and repair\, using art and technology to question how we might live with\, listen to\, and learn from water in an age of crisis and change. \nBeta\, the Arts & Technology Festival\, will run from November 7th to 23rd. Many of the events are free.  \nFor the complete programme\, see 2025.betafestival.ie

SUMMARY:Samhain Agus Science 2025

Following a number of spectacular events last week\, the festival wraps with three fascinating events today and tomorrow. \n1. The Demon’s in the Detail sees Theoretical Physicist and Senior Lecturer in Physics at Bristol University\, Felix Flicker\, present a talk on the surprising rich history of demons in physics and the various 19th century thought experiments that invoked demons as imagined agents capable of superhuman powers.

Doors 6.30pm. \n2. Magma in Motion\, an engaging science event presented by researchers from the Geophysics Section of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies and the Dublin Magmatism Group that explores the dynamic forces beneath Earth’s surface. 6pm Tuesday Nov 4th\, M4 Lecture theatre\, Museum Building TCD. Doors 6.30pm. \n3. Medieval Murder Mysteries: Homicide in Early Irish Law a mesmerising talk by Dr Viktoriia Krivoshchekova\, post-doctoral scholar in the School of Celtic Studies at DIAS\, on how medieval Irish law dealt with murder\, especially when the identity of the killer was not obvious. It will explore how such cases were treated by the law and what methods could be used to investigate them to answer the age-old question: “whodunnit?” 7pm – 8pm Tuesday Nov 4th\, Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies. Doors 6.30pm. \nAll events are free and are designed for a general audience\, welcoming everyone from curious newcomers to seasoned science enthusiasts to learn more about the world around us. \nTo register your attendance and book your place visit Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Geraldine O'Neill - First It Flickers
DESCRIPTION:First it flickers and then it tips (us out of the Holocene). \nArtist Geraldine O’Neill has long responded to the increasing confrontation with human engagement and relationship with the ecosystem\, in particular the Anthropocene whose traces are now embedded within the geological layers of the Earth’s structure. Her new exhibition\, Flicker\, Flicker\, responds to the escalating tension between humanity and the natural world. Her work speaks directly to the Anthropocene\, our current epoch\, where human presence is inscribed into the geological fabric of the earth. \nFor O’Neill\, this presence is made vivid through the everyday. Domestic references\, images of her children\, and items from her studio mingle with art-historical fragments\, still birds\, and household detritus. These layered references move between the personal and the collective\, situating the intimacy of home life within broader cultural and ecological frameworks. \nO’Neill’s distinctive painterly approach\, grounded in conceptual rigour and technical mastery\, reanimates these instances across time and memory. Through her colour-saturated virtuosity\, she creates surfaces that are at once sobering and luminous\, reflecting on the fragility of our world while offering a space of haunting beauty. \nThe exhibition runs from October 16th – November 15th 2025 at Kevin Kavanagh Gallery. \nFeature Image: Geraldine O’Neill\, Mise en scène\, 2025

SUMMARY:The Storytellers - Antonio Forcione and Cenk Erdoğan
DESCRIPTION:The STORYTELLERS are Antonio Forcione on acoustic guitar and Cenk Erdoğan on fretless guitar. \nAntonio Forcione is renowned for his adventurous approach to the guitar\, using the instrument in its entirety\, both melodically and percussively. Forcione loves to experiment with sounds\, timbres and techniques. Often referred to as the “Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar” Forcione is celebrated for his technical brilliance and lightning-fast hands.The Guardian (U.K)\, in a five-star review\, praised him as “one of the great acoustic guitarists.” \nMeanwhile\, Cenk Erdoğan\, a virtuoso of both the fretless guitar and the tambur\, brings a distinct Eastern flavor to the duo’s sound. His music draws from the rich traditions of Anatolia and fuses them with the improvisational language of contemporary jazz. Based in Istanbul\, Erdoğan is a composer and arranger known for his deeply expressive\, genre-blending style. Expect blends of jazz\, flamenco\, African\, Brazilian and contemporary music. \nTogether\, Forcione and Erdoğan create a sound that is unmistakably their own—jazzy\, dynamic\, and refreshingly original. \nThe Storytellers takes place at St Ann’s Church\, Dawson Street\, Dublin on Saturday October 11th. Tickets here. \n

SUMMARY:Kaleidoscope Night & The Night Wit...
DESCRIPTION:Kaleidoscope Night and The Night With… present an evening with violinist Emma Jane Lloyd and cellist Naomi Berrill on Wednesday 1st October 2025 at Bello Bar\, Dublin 8. \nThe audience can look forward to an adventurous evening of contemporary compositions\, improvisation Jazz and song for your curious ears\, featuring the music of Egidija Medekšaitė\, Emma Jane Lloyd. Matthew Whiteside\, Émilie Girard-Charest\, Rylan Gleave\, Sam Perkin (Irish premiere)\, Naomi Berrill and Bill Whelan. \nEmma Lloyd performs a programme of contemporary works that explore the violin’s expressive possibilities through extended techniques\, electronics\, and open-ended interpretation. Featuring music from her album mue\, the concert brings together pieces shaped by long-standing collaborations and a shared curiosity for sound. \nFrom delicate textures to dense sonorities\, each work approaches the violin in a unique way as Emma’s own caprices esquisses push the instrument to its sonic limits\, embracing the unpredictable. \nThese works are shaped by long-standing creative relationships between Emma and the composers and a shared curiosity for the violin’s possibilities. At the heart of the concert is an exploration of sound in flux—where each performance is a conversation between structure and spontaneity. As an improviser\, Emma’s performance tends to be quiet and intimate in nature\, exploring the innate timbral qualities of the violin\, and discovering some of the often hidden sounds that can be found with her unique combination of technique and tools. \n \nNaomi Berrill is a cellist\, singer and composer originally from Ireland\, now based in Florence\, Italy\, Naomi is one of the most eclectic voices in today’s music scene.

SUMMARY:Artistic Islands
DESCRIPTION:Taking place at Dublin Castle Museum through to March 22nd 2026\, this exciting exhibition identifies Ireland and its diaspora as places where creative genius was always encouraged. \n\n\nVisitors can experience Irish art and its global impact in new ways at Dublin Castle’s Coach House Gallery\, where parallel stories of artistic genius and diversity are expressed through the work of Maria Simonds-Gooding and Frank Walter of Antigua\, each of whom have deep connection to their island landscapes. Irish artist\, Maria Simonds-Gooding\, has a particular connection and affinity to the OPW-managed Blasket Islands. In this exhibition\, she captures timeless histories of the heritage of Ireland as found in its ancient landscape. For more than sixty years\, Maria has engaged with and responded to the Irish landscape in a variety of artistic media\, including ink\, paint\, plaster and aluminum. She was also a formative influence on Micheál O’Gaoithín\, the Blasket’s great visual artist and poet. \nArtistic Islands expands outward from Ireland to the Caribbean’s Leeward Islands\, where a far-flung global diaspora comes into focus. From the 1630’s\, Irish people were sent to the Caribbean arriving as indentured servants mixing with enslaved persons of African descent\, merging cultures to form a resilient society. Worlds collided in these sun-drenched islands where much of their tradition expressing the breadth and impact of their creative genius remains. This brilliance shines in the artistic achievement of Antiguan polymath Frank Walter\, who saw himself\, among others\, as an Irish peer. \nWalter used art to create his own universe–an aesthetically pleasing environment manifest through painting\, sculpture\, music and the arts. Imbued with a high intellect and deep knowledge of history and culture\, Walter fought to protect the heritage of his tiny island nation. He painted abstract paintings\, using the intricate patterns of seeds used in Antiguan seedwork – one of the earliest artforms unique to his island nation\, dating back to the earliest arrival of enslaved persons from Africa. \nFunded by the legacy of Frank Walter\, seedwork survives to this day thanks to a group of Antiguan women whose work will be portrayed along with Walter’s paintings to express the timelessness of these art forms. \nThe ‘Artistic Islands’ exhibition takes place at Dublin Castle until March 22nd 2026.
