The Quickening is presented at six rural locations, including South Tipperary Arts Centre, as part of a Walls & Halls tour. This tour sparks conversation about the local environment in recognition of the multiple voices and perspectives at play in our communities. It coincides with an ambitious exhibition at The Douglas Hyde Gallery of Contemporary Art, Trinity College, Dublin, from March 29 to June 23, 2024.
Join us at STAC Chapel for a special screening of The Quickening, a powerful new artwork by ground-breaking artist Deirdre O’Mahony which responds to urgent issues facing farming, food production and the environment. Developed over three years, this unique work gathers voices which together communicate the reality of farming life and the centrality of soil to human, animal and insect life.
We are delighted to welcome Dr. Luis Lopez-Sangil, Soil Health Research Technologist at Teagasc, Johnstown Castle, to STAC Chapel to respond to The Quickening. Lopez-Sangil has just finished developing a novel technique to study how minerals protect soil organic matter, which will help us understand which soil types and land practices are better for sequestering carbon. Light refreshments will be provided.
Tuesday 30th April, STAC Chapel, Kickham Plaza, Clonmel @ 7:00pm
Admission is free but booking is required. For more info about the project & bookings:
