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 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.

It is an oral storytelling nar rative that is about a broader reflection on what it is to be born out of a working class environment.  This poem is in homage to all people from w orking-class communities who find their strength and become their own king s and queens like warriors from an ancient past. \n\n\n\nAs a playwright\, Mary’s work includes the highly acclaimed The Woman is Present: Women ’s Stories of WWII co-written with Paul Kennedy\, Fiona Thompson and Fé ilim James\;  Tales of Love and Loss featuring two monologues selected by President Michael D Higgins for performance at Áras an Uachtaráin\, Con stance and Her Friends and Grace and Joe for performance in 2023\; In One Breath from the award-winning Testimonies(co-written with Paul Kennedy)\; Shadow of My Soul and May Our Faces Haunt You. \n\n\n\nMary’s film work includes the hour-long documentary Stories From the Shadows (co-directed w ith Mark Quinn)\; the short film Tell Them Our Names\,  (directed by Mary \, co-written with Paul Kennedy) inspired by women’s stories of WWII and selected for the London Eye International Film Festival and Kerry Film Fe stival\; the creative documentary Women in an Equal Europe\; the short fil m Courageous Women\, inspired by powerful women’s stories from the 1916 to 1923 decade of commemorations period in Irish history\; In Time\, a poe m-film created in response to the changing landscape of our world today in a time of pandemic (written by Mary Moynihan\, co-directed with Mark Quin n)\; and The Shoah: A Survivor’s Memory – The World’s Legacy\, adapt ed from the writings of French woman Simone Veil (1927-2017)\, a French la wyer\, politician and feminist\, Holocaust survivor and first female Presi dent of the European Parliament. \n\n\n\nMary has a focus on using histori cal memory in her artistic practice as inspiration for the creation of ori ginal artworks. A number of her writings highlight stories of ordinary yet extraordinary women who stood up for the rights of others with a focus on the Holocaust\, WWII and the revolutionary period in Irish history. \n\n\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganisations Involved / Partner Organisation(s):\ n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue Information: LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T121521Z LOCATION:Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality\, 3 0 Sandycove Road\, Sandycove\, Dublin\, A96V9P1\, 30 Sandycove Road\, Sand ycove\, Dublin\, A96V9P1 URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/culture-night-at-smashing-times-visual- art-gallery/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=dublin-ie X-SOURCE-NAME:Smashing Times X-SOURCE-URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/open-mic-night-2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:September: An exhibition without borders DTSTART:20260918T090000Z DTEND:20261016T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260917T001515Z UID:10000744-1789725600-1792173600@smashingtimes.ie CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Smashing Times Arts & Human Rights Radio Show on Dublin South FM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBroadcast 19 August + 26 August 2026\, 6-7pm Int erview with poet Paddy Bushe Today’s show has a feature artist interview with poet Paddy Bushe who is one of the six contributing artists to Editi on VII of Tintreach: The Smashing Times Arts and Literary Journal.

September – An Exhibitio n without Borders runs at the Green on Red Gallery Dublin from 18 Septembe r to 16 October 2026\, 10am-6pm\, Monday to Friday weekly. Green on Red Ga llery is situated at Park Lane\, Spencer Dock\, Dublin 1\, D01 Y821. \n\n\ n\nGreen on Red Gallery \n\n\n\nThe Green On Red Gallery began in 1992 an d has since become one of Ireland’s most dynamic and exciting galleries. We represent some of the best contemporary work on the market\, both Iris h and international. The programme is based on 6-7 solo exhibitions and 2- 3 group or thematic exhibitions per year.  Green On Red Gallery particip ates in international art fairs and the gallery’s artists regularly exhi bit abroad in both private and public venues. \n\n\n\nAlong with our progr amme of exhibitions at home and abroad\, the gallery offers a consultancy service tailored to individual needs:  \n\n\n\n\nBuilding individual priv ate collections \n\n\n\nConsulting with companies and organisations to su pply artwork for their collections \n\n\n\nFinding the right piece for a particular location \n\n\n\nAdvising on outdoor or public art projects\n\ n\n\n\nVisit the Green on Red website \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biographies:\n\n\n\n Brian Hegarty \n\n\n\nHegarty’s practice sits somewhere between painting \, sculpture\, and assemblage\, and resists settling into any one of them. Working with found and everyday materials\, mainly paper and  card he bu ilds layered surfaces through accumulation\, alteration\, and repair. \n\n \n\nRather than hiding how the works are made\, they are self-explanatory.     Visible seams\, exposed edges\, runny glue\, the evidence of the ha nd are all apparent and exposed. Cutting\, folding\, layering\, and gluing are both method and meaning — structures built provisionally\, likely t o fail\, not built to last. This instability isn’t separate from the wor k’s meaning\; it is the meaning\, mirroring an existential unease the wo rk doesn’t resolve\, only makes visible\, and briefly\, holds together. \n\n\n\nBrian Hegarty is an artist based in Drogheda County Louth. He was born in Dublin in 1970 and graduated from D.I.T. College of Fine Art in 19 94. He has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. He runs t hirtythree-45\, a multi-platform arts project working independently and in collaboration with other artists\, musicians\, and arts organisations. Mo st recently he initiated The KIOSK Project Art Space\, a small artist-run project space on Narrow West Street in Drogheda. \n\n\n\n\n\nJúlius Kolle rDelving beyond art as a practice\, Koller’s work explores art as a medi um of cultural action. In a bid to investigate communications and actions beyond their institutional and political definitions his work hones its fo cus on everyday gestures and rituals. In doing so he creates the concept o f “‘cultural institutions”. \n\n\n\nIn late 1980s Czechoslovakia\, K oller found himself deeply concerned with the Czechoslovakian Spring libe ration. This event saw Warsaw troops invade Czechoslovakia in a bid to sup press the Spring liberation process within the region. At the same time\, there was an exponential growth in the economic shift to a globally driv en free market society. This period of change prompted much reflection  – specifically the contradiction of Utopia and real life. Here his seri es U.F.O.-naut J.K. was conceived. An almost life-long series of self-port raits released annually\, many pieces feature Koller himself using ironic gestures and using wildly various symbols and everyday objects like nets\, tennis rackets\, table-tennis bats\, his own head of hair\, and so on. \n \n\n\nThe (otznik) question mark recurs throughout his work. As the collec tion evolves so does the question mark. He weaves the symbol in throughout a wide variety of materials and formats. The symbol serves not only as a reference and prompt to question politics\, society and environment but al so as a universal term: it stood for openness\, willingness to explore\, u ncertainty and doubt. In his work Meditacia / Meditation (U.F.O.)  1983 Július is pictured with his head perched and eyes closed\, holding only a piece of paper. The piece of paper contains a small pencil illustration – a circle drawn unsteadily. This sketch encapsulates the spirit of the man. Here too\, the subject of free expression has become an inquiry\, one that is not only focused on social conditions but on one’s own capacity for action.  \n\n\n\nFor an Irish equivalent\, think the late Maurice O ’Connell\, an art rogue\, a performer\, a wanderer and a unique presence in the Irish art world of the 1990s. He took part in the first Manifest a ( 1996 )\, Europe’s only Nomadic Biennial of Contemporary Art. He  had a solo exhibition The Last Great Buffalo Hunt in Green on red Galler y in 1997. \n\n\n\n\n\nNil Yalter \n\n\n\nBorn in Cairo and raised in Ista nbul\, Nil Yalter is a pioneering Turkish artist whose work has been sha ped by her experiences across different cultures\, traditions and politica l landscapes. Drawing on her Anatolian heritage while embracing the experi mental possibilities of contemporary art\, Yalter has developed a practi ce that spans more than five decades. \n\n\n\nHer work explores migration\ , identity\, feminism and social justice through the stories of those ofte n overlooked. Combining visual art\, performance\, technology and traditio ns drawn from oral and visual cultures\, Yalter examines the resilience and complexity of human experience while giving voice to marginalised comm unities and questioning the social and political structures that shape the ir lives. \n\n\n\nIn Lord Byron Meets the Shaman Woman (2009)\, Nil Yalte r draws on her longstanding interest in shamanism\, nomadic cultures and t he cultural histories of Anatolia to revisit the figure of the female sham an. Combining performance\, costume\, archival imagery and text\, the work pays tribute to women who occupied significant spiritual\, social and int ellectual roles within their communities. By staging an imagined encounter between the shaman woman and Lord Byron\, Yalter brings together differ ent histories and cultural perspectives\, questioning how identities and t raditions have been represented and understood. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganisat ions Involved / Partner Organisation(s):\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nV enue Information: LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T001515Z LOCATION:Green on Red Gallery\, Park Lane\, Spencer Dock\, Dublin\, D01 Y8 21 URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/september-an-exhibition-without-borders /?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=dublin-ie X-SOURCE-NAME:Smashing Times X-SOURCE-URL:https://smashingtimes.ie/event/open-mic-night-2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Trust Artists Unconditionally - Public Art of 1990s | Exhibition a t Garter Lane Arts Centre DTSTART:20260918T100000Z DTEND:20260918T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260911T122836Z UID:4393@visualartists.ie CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that explores the innovation of a series of flag ship public art commissions initiated by Garter Lane Arts Centre and artis t Garrett Phelan between 1995 & 1999.\nPhelan\, alongside then Garter Lane director Annette Clancy\, gave no title to the programme or identified an y of the events or encounters that occurred explicitly as art.

Last year\, sixty-six speakers d elivered over a hundred hours of can't-miss OT cybersecurity programming. In this symposium\, you'll hear it straight from the contributors and top- rated speakers who made it happen: the lessons learned\, the ideas planted \, and the moments that mattered most.\n\nAcross a four hours of panel dis cussions\, we're bringing back the voices that defined last year's confere nce to reflect on where ICS/OT security stands today — what's changed\, what's stuck\, and what the community is still wrestling with.\n\nAnd we'r e not just looking back. Throughout the day\, we'll drop clues about what' s coming in 2027 — a bigger\, bolder Level Zero built on your demand for more. Think five full days of content\, including two brand-new pre-confe rence days ahead of the three-day main event.\n\nWhether you were there in person\, watched from afar\, or are just discovering Level Zero for the f irst time\, this is your chance to catch up on the conversations that matt ered — and get a first look at what's next.\n\n**[Join us for Visions an d Reflections.

Stay on mute while someone else is pl aying or singing. You can join in ONLY if you are on mute\, because the de lay over the internet does not allow simultaneous playing online.\n\n2. Wh en you are playing\, stay as close to your device's microphone as possible for best results.\n\n3. There are two views - Gallery view and Active Spe aker view. Active speaker will put the video on the person singing\, Galle ry view will show everyone. You may have to search a bit to find each view \, it is different on each device.\n\n4. You can mute your audio and/or yo ur video.\n\nThe host reserves the right to mute anyone whose line is caus ing audio interference.\n\n5. There is an interesting option to record you rself first and then share it - the quality will be better.\n\nIn Zoom the re's an icon called "Share Content"\, if you click that you get the option to share files on you Google Drive etc. I've just tried it out and it all ows you to throw up pre-recorded audio and/or video files. These replace y our video picture while they play. When they finish just hit the share con tent icon again and your video image comes back. So this might be an optio n for anyone to pre-recrord (good quality)\, load onto Google Drive\, join a Zoom session and\, when it comes to their turn\, introduce their song a nd share the pre-recorded song from G Drive.\n\n6. As mentioned above\, Zo om is optimised for voice rather than music so it actually tries to filter out music thinking that it's background noise but that filter can be disa bled but only on Windows and macOS as follows:\n\nOn the Zoom Home page on you laptop:\nClick on 'Settings' (top right)\nThen click on 'Audio' (left pane)\nThen click 'Advanced' (bottom right)\nThen tick the box at the top of the screen 'Show in-meeting option to "Enable Original Sound" from mic rophones'\n\nThen\, when you're on a call\, a toggle switch appears at the top left of your screen "Turn on Original Sound".\nClick that - it change s to "Turn off Original Sound" and you're done.\n\nPreferred setup for any one with an instrument might thus be:\n1) Windows or macOS\n2) Turn on Ori ginal Sound\n3) Direct connect to router (rather than Wi-Fi)\nEven better if you have a microphone connected via an audio interface device to your l aptop/PC.\n\n7.

Our mission is t o foster cultural exchange\, understanding\, and collaboration between Pal estine and Ireland through diverse artistic and cultural disciplines. \n\n \n\nSpeaker Biographies:\n\n\n\nTamer Nafar\, Palestinian rapper\, actor\, screenwriter \n\n\n\nTamer Nafar is a pioneering Palestinian rapper\, act or\, screen-writer\, and social activist\, blending hip-hop with powerful messages about identity\, resistance\, and social justice. He grew up in L yd\, a mixed city of Palestinians and Jews 20 minutes from Tel Aviv\, home to one of the largest drug markets in the Middle East. As a teenager\, Ta mer discovered hip-hop and became the world’s first Palestinian rapper. His lyrics and activities reflect the Palestinian struggle\, women’s rig hts\, and the promotion of alternative art within a conservative society. \n\n\n\nDr. Selma Dabbagh\, British-Palestinian writer and lawyer \n\n\n\n I write fiction and nonfiction and have lived in a lot of different places . My novel\, Out of It (Bloomsbury\, 2011)\, is set between Gaza\, Londo n and the Gulf. Over ten years later\, in 2024 it headed The Guardian’s list of five best books to explain Israel-Palestine. It has been transla ted into Arabic\, French and Italian. I am also proud to be the editor of the collection\, We Wrote In Symbols\; Love and Lust by Arab Women Write rs\,  (Saqi Books\, 2021). Described as ‘groundbreaking’ and the f irst of its kind etc the collection is comprised of over a hundred pieces by over seventy authors\, writing in Arabic\, French and English. \n\n\n\n My short stories have been published by Granta\, Wasafiri\, Saqi\, Telegra m\, PORT\, PEN International and Comma Press.  A couple of my short stori es were nominated for awards e.g. PEN and Pushcart. \n\n\n\nI have also wr itten pieces of journalism for newspapers and magazines from The Guardian\ , The Observer\, Novara Media\, GQ and other outlets. My background is as a lawyer\, with a specialisation in international law.  I view the two pr ofessions as being distinct\, in recent years\, since the genocide in Gaza began in 2023\, I have been drawing on both backgrounds for a series of b logs that I have been writing each month for the London Review of Books. My non fiction has also appeared in the Paris Review\, Port\, INQUE and in anthologies published by Bloomsbury\, Canongate and Saqi. \n\n\n\nI colla borated in writing the script for the Oscar shortlisted epic film Pales tine 36 (Annemarie Jacir) and was deeply involved in researching the film ’s historical background. The film has gone on to be nominated for best screenplay at the Asia Pacific Film Awards and is currently leading at t he 10th Critics Award for Arab Film.  \n\n\n\nIn terms of plays\, I’ve written two radio plays The Brick produced by Sarah Bradshaw for BBC Ra dio 4\, (2014) and a futuristic radio play\, Sleep It Off\, Dr. Schott p roduced by Jan Buck for WDR Germany (2018). In 2025\, my first theatrical play Asmahan\, was staged at Sadler’s Wells (directed by Tanushka Marah ).  I have worked on other productions for stage and screen (TV and film) at the development stage and advised on other projects. \n\n\n\nMy review s of works of fiction\, films\, culture and plays about or by Palestinians have been published by The Markaz Review and The Electronic Intifada. \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, I was honoured to write the introduction / forew ords for the republications of novels I admire. Women at Point Zero\, (Bl oomsbury) by Nawal El Saadawi andThe Lord\, (New York Review of Books) by Soraya Antonius. \n\n\n\nI hold a BA (Durham\, Law) a LLM (SOAS) and a Ph D from the department of English and Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths\ , University. \n\n\n\nDr. Rita Sakr\, Associate Professor of Postcolonial and Global Literatures\, Maynooth University \n\n\n\nI am Associate Profes sor of Postcolonial and Global Literatures. I joined the Department of Eng lish at Maynooth University in January 2018 after being Lecturer in World Literature at Goldsmiths (University of London)\, and previously\, Postdoc toral Research Fellow at the Orient Institut Beirut (Max Weber Foundation) \, ESRC “Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security Research” Postd octoral Research Associate at the University of Kent\, and visiting lectur er and fellow at UCD (English and Clinton Institute for American Studies)\ , having completed a PhD at the University of Nottingham\, UK. As a multil ingual academic\, my teaching and research interests include literary and cultural production engaging forced displacement\, postcolonialism and de coloniality\, SWANA and Mediterranean studies\, modern Arab (including dia sporic) literature and film\, modern Turkish and Kurdish literature in tra nslation\, critical geographies and the environmental humanities\, (more-t han-)human rights and critical humanitarianism\, peacekeeping and peace-bu ilding\, and interdisciplinary post-conflict memory studies. \n\n\n\nAmong various other publications\, I am the author of “Anticipating” the 20 11 Arab Uprisings: Revolutionary Literatures and Political Geographies (Pa lgrave) and Monumental Space in the Post-Imperial Novel: An Interdisciplin ary Study (Continuum\; and in paperback\, Bloomsbury Academic). I co-edite d The Ethics of Representation in Literature\, Art\, and Journalism: Trans national Responses to the Siege of Beirut (Routledge) and James Joyce and the Nineteenth-Century French Novel (Rodopi). \n\n\n\nI co-directed and co -produced the Research Councils UK-funded documentary film White Flags tha t focuses on peace-building through memory projects and the arts in post-w ar Beirut. Screenings and Q&A included: Institute of Contemporary Arts\, L ondon\; Being Human Festival\, UK\; World Poetry Day\, Nicosia\; Mansion C ultural Centre\, Beirut. \n\n\n\nRecent and forthcoming publications focus on literary/cultural production (primarily Arab) at the crossroads of dec oloniality\, necropolitics\, more-than-human rights\, the environmental  humanities and experimental literatures of forced displacement. My third m onograph titled Arab Displacements: Experimental Literature\, Necropolitic s and Decolonial Hauntology is forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press (early 2027). \n\n\n\nI am the MU Lead on the EU-funded multi-university (lead university UoMalta) Cooperation Partnership in Higher education (pos tgraduate programme) ‘Re-visiting the Mediterranean: Literature\, Cultur e\, Environment’\, 2024-26. \n\n\n\nI was Senior Co-Investigator\, with Prof Sinead McGilloway (Principal Investigator-Founder Director of Maynoo th Centre for Mental Health and Community Research)\, on a funded (QFI) re search programme\, titled SALaM-Ireland (Phase 1: 2020-2023\; Phase 2: 202 3-24)\, part of an international collaboration based at the University of Washington in St Louis. This is a mixed-methods engaged research project that sought to assess the psychosocial needs of post-primary school studen ts resettled to Ireland from Arab-majority countries and to identify poten tial school-based and creative strategies to foster support for this popul ation. \n\n\n\nRecently completed and ongoing research supervision include s: “The Production of Space and its Subversive Functions in Contemporary Lebanese Literature” (Farah Aridi\, Goldsmiths\, completed)\; “The Bo dy and the Environment in Contemporary Iraqi Literature” (Reema Hassan\, MU\, completed)\; “Literary Representations of the Environmental Impact of the IT Industry” (Florian Radtke\, MU\, ongoing\;\,Hume Scholar)\; “Ethical Recognition in the Aesthetic Development of the Palestinian Nov el” (Darragh Clarke\, MU\, ongoing\, GOI doctoral scholar)\; and as men tor for the GOI-funded postdoctoral project “The Language of Refuge” ( Edmund Chapman\, MU\, completed). \n\n\n\nIn October 2021\, I designed and convened a free online course on “Global Migrant Literature and Culture ” that was part of “A Pilot Project to Enhance Equal Participation and Inclusivity in the Virtual Learning Environment”\,  for which I receiv ed funding (with colleagues in the Department of Law) from the MU Equality \, Diversity and Inclusion Fund and the generous support of Kildare Librar ies. From July 2022 to July 2025\, I was Co-Chair with Dr Aoife Titley of Maynooth University Sanctuary programme and achieved\, together with the S anctuary team\, the successful re-accreditation of MU as University of San ctuary certified by Universities of Sanctuary Ireland re-accreditation com mittee in June 2025. \n\n\n\nSince 2024\, I have a been a member of MU Rac e Equality Steering Group that produced MU’s first Race Equality Action Plan (2026) and a member of MU Global Crisis Forum.

Workin g across fine art\, tattoos\, videos\, and murals\, the artist employs a s urrealist language infused with magical realism to create visual stories t hat blur the limits between reality and myth. \n\n\n\nJessica spent eleven years as a tattoo artist\, a period that permanently shaped her understan ding of narrative. In that role\, stories were entrusted and inscribed\, a collaborative act that demanded integrity and a focus on the body as the first site for a visual tale. This experience remains the quiet anchor for all her work. \n\n\n\nJessica now builds worlds across painting\, murals\ , and video\, drawing from a well of dreams and old folklore to create ima ges that feel both familiar and strangely new. The curiosity that guided h er hand on skin now guides her interdisciplinary practice. It is a practic e of genuine exploration\, evidenced by an Artist in the Community Scheme grant for collaborative public work and features in 10 group exhibitions\, including the group show Voice of Dreams for Visionary Arts. \n\n\n\nJess ica’s work has been featured in Tintreach: The Smashing Times Arts and Literary Journal \n\n\n\nSee Jessica’s Instagram @artbyjroiz \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGillian has been painting since 2010 and is a graduate o f Art & Design at BiFE where she studied full time.
