Tulca Festival of Visual Arts Galway: set to launch on 6th November Tulca is back with a celebration of punk entitled Veruca Salt, and is curated by Sinéad Keogh.
“Curated by Sinéad Keogh, Veruca Salt approaches punk not as a fixed historical style, but as a living method: a way of working outside conventional structures, questioning received values, and making space through DIY culture, collective action and self-determination. The programme brings together artists, filmmakers, writers, musicians and community organisations whose work is shaped by independence, experimentation and a refusal to accept prescribed roles.”
It features events and exhibitions around Galway City including
- Galway Traveller Movement / Nora Mongan present a traditional beady pocket reflecting both Traveller heritage and changing opportunities for Traveller women, while Madhuri Singh presents a commissioned portrait in graphite in Galway City Museum
- At Galway Arts Centre, Veruca Salt brings together work by Peter Bradley, Diana Chambers, Rachel Garfield, Saidhbhín Gibson, Guggi, Shota Kotake, Breda Lynch, Katie Moore, Ciara Rodgers and Del LaGrace Volcano.
- At An Post Gallery, the exhibition brings together sculpture, installation, painting, performance and community-led work by Domestic Violence Response Galway / Tina Collective, Paula Fitzsimons, Russell Hart, Seiko Hayase, Evgeniya Martirosyan, Enoch Miekutima Matondo and Kate McSharry
- At 126 Artist-Run Gallery, Domestic Violence Response Galway and Tina Collective present a participatory project shaped by punk feminism, collective resistance and care
- At TULCA Gallery, the exhibition brings together film, works on paper and archival material by Dolorosa de la Cruz, Vivienne Dick, Johnny McMahon, Garry O’Neill and Sara R Phillips, alongside material from the RTÉ Archives.
