Our current Master's student Michael McLoughlin and former artist in residence at UCD opens the new art installation 'REST HERE' at the UCD Sutherland School of Law on May 24 at 5.30pm. All are welcome to attend the reception to celebrate this unique art installation, but we ask that you RSVP to Danny Moran: danny.moran@ucd.ie, by May 19 to confirm your attendance.
Artist Michael McLoughlin developed this unique installation from the song of the Common Swift, a bird which annually travels from the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East to Ireland. This piece was originally inspired as a reflection and celebration of the increasing diversity amongst students and staff. As the work developed, the parallels between the story of the swifts’ journey, and those of people taking flight from the Middle East and North Africa in search of refuge deepened, adding extra resonance to the installation.
