New Irish Works series 2023-24:
Jialin Long at The Library Project

Launch 6pm Thursday 27th April

PhotoIreland presents an introduction to Jialin Long's latest body of work. This is the fourth exhibition in the New Irish Works series.

Long’s practice focuses on issues in contemporary culture, using new methods of presentation to explore socio-political and feminist issues. Formulating alternative statements and positions, Long challenges stereotypes and rethinks issues facing marginalised communities. Using photography and, more recently, artificial intelligence, she actively seeks ways to support and enhance the desired aesthetics and concepts of her intended message.
