Join us for Stirring the Pot with Hannah Khalil, Roxana Manouchehri & Bojana Janković, in conversation with Dr Ailbhe McDaid, leader of the PATHOS project.
Bojana Janković, Hannah Khalil and Roxana Manouchehri are three award-winning writers and artists, and PATHOS participants and affiliates. Together, they explore the complex relationship between art practice, food, and conflict. Grounded in their recent works across genres, this event illuminates the often generative but sometimes fraught role of food in art.
PATHOS looks at representations of conflict in Irish art and literature, and situates Irish artistic practice in a global context by considering how international conflict reaches Irish shores.

Proximity, Policy and Practice
Ailbhe McDaid (PATHOS Principal Investigator), Chloe Brenan(Visual Artist) & Paul McKinley (Visual Artist).
This PATHOS x Basic Talks event will explore how global conflict extends beyond borders, how artists engage with conflict from different proximities, and the relationship between art and policy. Hosted by PATHOS-lead Dr Ailbhe McDaid, the event will feature PATHOS participant Paul McKinley (visual artist) and PATHOS affiliate Chloe Brenan (visual artist). McKinley will discuss his work which engages with the theme conflict, while Brenan will share her experiences as an artist and educator working with cultural institutions. The conversation will particularly explore the development of policies to support artists making work in the context of conflict, and the role of cultural institutions in building solidarities in times of geopolitical upheaval. The discussion will also engage with the PATHOS Guiding Principles, published by TULCA in 2025.
