A space that is resilient and counteracts the hardness of the conflict beyond its fabric walls. The artist examines the dichotic co-existence of these two opposing realities in her paintings. In her paintings she depic ts temporary shelters that strive to remain a home.  She elevates the las t remaining domestic objects that these families in Gaza possess\, to pric eless commodities. Each domestic scene is adorned in patterns from the fam ilies’ personal possessions allowing their presence to be felt in the wo rk. \nTwo garments of children’s clothing hang in the sash windows of th e gallery. The small jackets are made from medical gauze\, a fabric which originated in Gaza\, hence its name. This fragile fabric gains its strengt h as a medical bandage for the wounded. These ‘Baby Armours’ are a hom age to the tens of thousands of children who have been killed in the genoc ide in Gaza. \nMiriam also references the archeological documentation of w ar in her series of ancient pots which carry images of displaced Palestini an families. History is more often narrated through a series of battles\, won and lost. Miriam McConnon’s work aims to document and to archive for future generations\, the overlooked side of this war\, the survival of th e domestic living space and its function as a gate keeper of everyday secu rity. \nThis exhibition recognizes the unassuming power of the domestic sp ace to facilitate security and dignity in a time of famine and genocide. \ n \n2026 is a milestone year for the artist who\, back in March\, had a so lo show at the Europa Gallery\, Dublin\, to mark the Cypriot Presidency of the European Council. We had the pleasure of coordinating the exhibition\ , titled Common Fractures\, by invitation of and in collaboration with the  European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland. We should also congratula te the artist for featuring on the website of the Irish Department of Fore ign Affairs and in Irish art in Cyprus: Meet Miriam McConnon\, a wonderful film about her practice and work in Cyprus. \nThe official opening takes place at 3pm on Sunday August 30th 2026\, at Olivier Cornet Gallery\, 3 Gr eat Denmark Street\, Dublin 1. The Guest speaker is Alaa Alqaisi\, a Pale stinian translator\, writer\, and researcher from Gaza. She holds an MA in Translation Studies and is a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin. \nA special musical event will also take place on Culture Night 2026\, Septem ber 18th 2026. \nThe exhibition runs until September 27th 2026.

The exhibition brings together two primary conceptual ideas: the print studio as a dynamic site of collective artistic production\, and the salon as a forum for inclusive presentation. \nThe print studio as a site of artistic production is one that facilitates and supports modes of production in pr intmaking. Print studios are factorial communal spaces that are both inclu sive and accessible. They are sustaining spaces that are hands-on and hapt ic and filled with specialist materials and technical knowledge. Printmake rs and artists orbit these spaces supported by their gravitational pull an d benefit from the mutual support and opportunity that arises. \n\n\nThe t erm Salone derives from the French term for a reception space. These space s contradictorily create an elite space for specialism\, while simultaneou sly creating a bounded inclusivity within that envelope. The salon typical ly created a formal device to create commonality between disparate element s. Inevitably hierarchies between genres developed\, the humility of still lives were skyed while history paintings were hung on the privileged eye level. On balance the salon space is an egalitarian one that corresponds t o the social nature of spaces such as the Black Church Print Studio. The l eveling nature of the print studio is both an intergenerational workspace that accommodates artists working at various levels of experience in a spe cialist field. \nSatellite Salon is conceived as the inaugural pilot in a series of biennials focused exclusively on printmaking\, this exhibition h ighlights the essential medium and core discipline underpinning the Black Church Print Studio members’ diverse artistic practices. \n\nSatellite S alon\, curated by Colin Martin\, commissioned by Black Church Print Studio is at The Library Project\, 4 Temple Bar\, Dublin from September 4th–26 th 2026.  Opening takes place on Thursday\, September 3rd.
