SUMMARY:Artist Talks | Soft Surge Artists and Curator in Conversation at th
 e Luan Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Luan Gallery on Saturday 6th September at 2pm for th
 e Soft Surge Artists and Curator talk\nThis roving in-conversation event\,
  led by Luan Gallery curator Aoife Banks in dialogue with Soft Surge exhib
 iting artists Shirani Bolle\, Ursula Burke\, Rachel Fallon\, and Lucy Pete
 rs\, will guide visitors through exhibited artwork. Together\, the curator
  and artists will address and unravel the themes encountered in the exhibi
 tion. As we move through the gallery\, the discussion will critically enga
 ge with the conceptual frameworks and thematic concerns underpinning the w
 orks\, offering insight into the curatorial rationale and the artistic pra
 ctices of the exhibiting artists.\nSOFT SURGE is a group exhibition featur
 ing artists Shirani Bolle\, Ursula Burke\, Rachel Fallon\, Dee Mulrooney\,
  Lucy Peters\, Emily Waszak\, and selected work on loan from The Irish Nam
 es Project. Soft Surge critically engages with themes of identity\, mother
 hood\, women’s collectivity\, grief\, resistance\, activism\, and sociop
 olitical dissent within the context of contemporary Ireland. Through a ran
 ge of practices and processes including sculpture\, embroidery\, weaving\,
  knitting\, tapestry\, film\, photography\, and mixed media\, the artists 
 featured in this exhibition explore the soft power and radical potential o
 f textiles.\nCurated by Aoife Banks\n\n\n\n
