Panel Discussions | Get Together 2024
We are delighted to bring you four panel discussions at Get Together 2024 that aim to foster a dynamic dialogue between visual artists, curators, and art institutions. Following an open call, the following panel discussions have been selected to spark conversations and inspire change in the ever-evolving art landscape:
The Mother City [9:30am – 10:30am]
Rachel Fallon | Sara O’Rourke | Nicola Sheehan | Rachel Doolin
This panel focuses on The Mother City – a practice-based performance project created for Cork Midsummer Festival and curated by Pluck Projects. Collectively, the artistic research explores matricentric feminism and the potential of mothering as an activist strategy. More information >

Aestheticisation of the Damaging Effects of Social Media and Doomscrolling [12 noon – 1pm]
Moreno Hebling | Valentina Tanni | Matilde Pernarcic | Francesca Vanoli
This panel explores internet culture with an emphasis on the aetheticisation of doomscrolling and understimulation as a counter response. The term ‘doomscrolling’ was coined during the Covid-19 pandemic to denote the excessive consumption of saddening or negative material via social media or news media outlets. More information >

Sophie Mak-Schram | Lisa Heinis | Serda Demir | Iliada Charalambous | Jeanne van Heeswijk
This panel focuses on programming of museum collections that take them outside the museum and exhibition formats.
