The Regional Cultural Centre in Letterkenny, hosts another photography exhibition, this time by Glasgow-based photographer, Simon Murphy, and curated by Martha McCulloch. Murphy presents his exhibition of work, offering a deep portrait of Govanhill, a diverse neighbourhood in Glasgow. Govanhill carries particular resonance in Donegal, as it became to be known as 'Little Donegal' because of the high concentration of emigrants from West Donegal, many of whom were Irish speakers. The exhibition is open from 11am to 5pm.
