Opening hours: 12 – 6 pm, Tues – Sat

Living Balance will launch the celebration of Black Church Print Studio’s 40th Anniversary and our contribution to the Irish Arts Scene over the last 40 years.

The artists in Living Balance work with print in its widest definition. They look to the traditions of the process reaching to its earthed materials such as copper, stone and soil, weaving them along with their concepts. Caoimhe Dalton, Kate Fahey, Suzanne Walsh, and Hazel Egan‘s works investigate elements of ritual, pattern, voice, language and re-wilding.

The exhibition features a recorded audio: An encounter with Living Balance by writer, broadcaster and folklore enthusiast Manchán Magan.
