Reading Between the Lines

Immersed in the exhibition and publication Boy Dancer on display in our Foyer Gallery,  join members of Bóann Writers' group for a relaxed evening of reflection and shared musings evoked by the works of poet Annemarie Ní Churreáin and visual artist Niamh McCann.

Unfolding as a textual wake, a reaction to the loss of Ní Churreáin’s foster brother, McCann’s visual responses of birds and beasts as seers, omens, and witnesses ‘swoop between words’, embracing the lyrical and mythical qualities of the poems.

Between the Lines invites participants to interact with this rich storytelling, symbolic language, imagery, and sound.

No previous writing or drawing experience necessary, just a willingness to respond and be curious in a collaborative shared space.

Light refreshments will be served.

This exhibition contains references to the death and grief for a loved one which some may find distressing.

If affected, please contact the HSE Mental Health Services.
