We invite you to join us for the launch of the thirteenth edition of Ireland's international festival of Photography and Visual Culture!
PhotoIreland Festival 2022 launches at 6pm Thursday 7th July, returning to The Printworks in Dublin Castle, where we first launched our public-facing research project, the Museum of Contemporary Photography of Ireland, back in 2019. Presenting a very ambitious edition, the festival provides a comprehensive survey of Irish photographic art practices, with many new, as well as established, voices.
The main exhibition Images Are All We Have traces the thematic development of the discipline and contextualises the historical background, bringing together the diverse and socially engaged set of contemporary art practices that define Irish Photography today. This survey exhibition on the discipline involves artists spanning several generations, practices, and backgrounds, and will include video installations by Alan Butler and Eamonn Doyle, alongside a screening room presenting a schedule of video works.
