Impressive programme for 41st EVA International in Limerick
The festival opens across diverse venues in Limerick from August 29 through to October 26
THE participating artists and partnerships for the 41st EVA International - Ireland’s Biennial of Contemporary Art - have been confirmed.
The festival opens across diverse venues in Limerick, including Limerick City Gallery of Art, Lumen Street Theatre, Ormston House, Starling, and Sadlier’s Fishmongers, amongst others from August 29 through to October 26.
Titled It Takes A Village, the guest programme of the 41st EVA International is grounded in an approach of shared thinking, working, and doing.
In line with the collaborative processes of curator Eszter Szakács and the EVA team, the programme prioritises ways of working with artists and partnerships to develop new projects and restaged presentations, attuned to the local social, political, and infrastructural context of regional Ireland.
The guest programme takes its title from the proverb ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, referring to the notion that the upbringing of children is a communal effort.
The guest programme extends this idea, recognising that artworks and artistic projects are material expressions of visible and invisible ecosystems that connect people, beings, entities, and organisational structures.
Presented across diverse venues in Limerick city, and through a number of local and international partnerships - from fishmongers, to family members, to other biennial organisations - It Takes A Village invites thinking, from many different perspectives, about the ways in which we might contribute to a more shared and equitable future.
