FUTURES Irish Talents 2021 opens
at The Library Project

Launch 6pm Thursday 7 October, running until 24 October.
No booking needed but visitors must wear a mask.

Join us this Thursday to meet the five contemporary Irish photographers in this exhibition at The Library Project, presented as part of the FUTURES Photography Platform, an initiative co-funded by Creative Europe. The artists selected for the fourth year of FUTURES are Aoife Herrity, Audrey Gillespie, Clare Lyons, Jialin Long, and Mark Duffy. They demonstrate the vibrant diversity of practices on and from the island of Ireland, and present a broad range of interests, defining what Irish photographic practices are today. With their diverse and differentiated creative approaches they contribute greatly to the rich ecosystem of the FUTURES international artists’ pool.

Get to know their most recent work at The Library Project this October and enjoy the opportunity to meet them in person at the launch this Thursday!
