To Search, To Find, Europa Gallery @ep_ireland Felicia Garrivan, Dee Hurley, Lisa O’Sullivan, Jonathan Stack, Lara Quinn To Search, To Find showcases five MTU Crawford College of Art and Design graduates from 2024. Mining the Irish past for new ways of being with the contemporary world, these artists explore ritual and symbolic forces through photography, print, drawing, painting, textiles, and film. Their works open novel perspectives on Irish folklore, landscape, and mythology. The exhibition as a gathering of art works takes as its starting point the empowering stories and histories of St. Brigit. We position this show as part of a larger negotiation of Irish history, language and myth by a generation of artists who are engaging with this ancient material to uncover new avenues of connection. In Celtic mythology, Brigit was a triple Goddess - of healing, fire and poetry. The Christian saint who took her name was a powerful leader who founded an inclusive community at a time when, under the Brehon laws, women had few rights. For the artists gathered here, the figure of Brigit, be it in folklore or in history, offers new resonances for our contemporary moment and opens up a space to consider our relationship with land, with spirituality and with a fraught and contested history. To Search, To Find is curated by Sarah Kelleher and Pádraig Spillane who lecture at MTU Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork City. Until March 21st Such a pleasure to work with @feliciagarrivanphotography @deehurlee @lisaosull_art @jonathanstackart @laraquinnart and the fantastic @padraigspillane on this. Thanks to all the support from @mtu_crawford @rose.mcgrath.397 @trishsnaps and all at Europe House.
