Helping Independent Artists in Galway
20 October 2015
Taking a closer look at our relationship with climate change
Being Galway's largest international arts festival, we love to support other festivals and events in Galway. A festival very dear to our hearts is TULCA, the annual festival of visual arts, which runs this week, from November 14 to 29.
This year’s festival, entitled Seachange, explores issues of climate change and our place in a changing landscape. Through a combination of the real and the imaginary, the exhibiting artists create a collective call for a sea change, literally, in our current climate policies. Curator Mary Cremin outlines her programme aspirations here.
The programme hosts a range of visual art exhibition, film screenings, talks and dicussions. One talk entitled 'Hy-Brasil Dialogues' will be held in the Aula Maxima at NUI Galway. Geographers, geologists, marine researchers, architects, linguists and artists will explore the complexity of our current environment, both locally and globally and from the perspective of geological time, present-time and future projections.
