Seeing Against the Grain - Meet & Connect with Creatives (FREE TICKET)
An artist talk with Ishmael Claxton. Meet and connect with creatives. **Ishmael Claxton is a Dublin based visual artist and photographer working across photography, installation, and curatorial collaboration.** **For this event he wil be presenting his work and ideas for an evening of creativity and discussion.** [Free Tickets!](www.eventbrite.ie/e/1984137562862/?discount=meetup) <- Only 10 tickets available His practice is shaped by a mix of mathematics, art history, costume design, and creative installation, giving his image making a curious, layered edge. Photography is Ishmael’s main tool for thinking through identity, migration, power, and belonging. His work moves between documentary and staged moments, blending the real and the imagined to reflect the instability of contemporary life. Influenced by surrealism, pop art, futurism, and Afro futurist imaginaries, his images are bold, colourful, and charged with symbolic weight. His work has been exhibited widely across Ireland and internationally, including PhotoMuseum Ireland, the RHA, the Hunt Museum, and the National Concert Hall. He has been recognised by LensCulture, Taylor Wessing, the Royal Photographic Society, and Shutter Hub’s 100 Photographers of Tomorrow. Ishmael is also a co founder of ÍOVA Collective, supporting photographer led practice in Ireland.

Sold out but will post here if tickets are available. Plough and the Stars.
I got myself a ticket for The Plough and The Stars. If you'd like to join me, you're most welcome. We're planning to meet in the upstairs bar at 13.30. I'll post information on how to find us closer to the date. (please buy your own ticket on the The Abbey theatre website) Marking 100 years since it first premiered at The Abbey Theatre, Sean O'Casey's The Plough and The Stars returns, in an exciting new production, directed by Tom Creed. The residents of a Dublin tenement shelter from the violence that sweeps through the city's streets. A revolution that will shape the country's future rages around them. What kind of Ireland awaits them? Set amid the tumult of the Easter Rising, The Plough and The Stars is the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by the idealism of the time.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
