Talk to the Land

UK artists Mel Jordan and Andy Hewitt, founders of the Partisan Social Club, have been on the trail of 19th century Cork philosopher and radical social reformer William Thompson, who not only inspired Marx, founded the idea of social science and wrote the first ever feminist text by a man in the English language, but who attempted to form a communal living experiment in West Cork in the 1820s.

Cultural Lore part two

Talk to the Land ·

2023/09/10

Font size on printed materials, transport, the time that events are on, no-one to go with, weather, the cost of tickets: find out what artist Marie Brett learned about the barriers that prevent older people from attending arts festival events. Marie worked with Cork Midsummer Festival on her Cultural Lore project to answer specific research questions on access to arts for older people. When it comes to ageing and arts, she says, one size very definitely doesn't fit all.

If you were offered a pill right now that would make you immortal, would you take it? Artist and filmmaker Anton Vidokle would. Enter the strange and wonderful world of Cosmism in Vidokle's company, a philosophy originating in the 19th century in which immortality and the technological ability to resurrect our ancestors sees humans colonising the cosmos.

But I know that this was the invitation to everybody.” Christa-Maria Lerm Hayes is leading Sirius Arts Centre's 2023 summer school, on the practice of visionary Irish American artist Brian O'Doherty.

It’s us working in his wake, and carrying out the things that he already predicted we might have to do. He inserted himself into these future wranglings,

In 2011, Holly Marie Parnell's family emigrated to Canada in search of a reasonable standard of living: Holly's younger brother David is quadriplegic and has complex care needs. Against a backdrop of Irish post-crash austerity, the Parnells felt they had no choice but to leave. "Families were given the choice of institutionalising their child or doing the care themselves and being plunged into poverty," Holly says. Holly's powerful 2023 film Cabbage is an intimate portrayal of the family's return to

After years raising her family, Pakistani-born artist Amna Walayat has been building a powerful art career in Ireland: her miniatures subvert an art form traditionally seen as decorative and feminine and turn them into a conversation about sexual politics and power dynamics. In October 2022, she was finishing up a residency at Sirius Arts Centre.
