Art Train to EVA
A trip to the 38th EVA International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Limerick on 6 June was co-hosted by UCD Sociology Masters in Race, Migration and Decolonial Studies, UCD Parity Studios Artist in Residence Programme and Draiocht Art Centre, with additional support from UCD College of Social Science and Law.
We had an amazing day of powerful artwork made all the more inspirational by the lively exchanges on the train to and from Limerick. The group consisted of students from the SOC40970 Art, Knowledge and Social Change, Parity artists, members of the African Radio Network and other educators, independent artists and activists. Representing 10 countries, the visit was shaped by many spontaneous art historical and political expositions arising through the regional- and cultural-specific lenses of everyone there.
UCD Art Train is part of a collaboration between Dr Alice Feldman in the School, Parity Director Emer O’Boyle, and Sociology PhD student and Draiocht Artist in Residence Michael McLoughlin.
Looking forward to more UCD Art Train events contributing to efforts being made to cultivate spaces in and expand access to the Irish art scene for more than just the white/Irish/European mainstream, as well as energising people involved in decolonial, anti-racism and intercultural work!!
