 n | Dee Mulrooney | Lucy Peters | Emily Waszak | The Irish Names Project.\
 n\n\n\nThe exhibition will be launched by Laura McCormack\, Acting Arts Of
 ficer for Westmeath Arts Office on Friday 27th June at 6:00pm. All are wel
 come to attend. The exhibition will continue until Sunday 7th September.\n
 \n\n\nSOFT SURGE is a group exhibition that critically engages with themes
  of identity\, motherhood\, women’s collectivity\, grief\, resistance\, 
 activism\, and sociopolitical dissent within the context of contemporary I
 reland. Through a range of practices and processes including sculpture\, e
 mbroidery\, weaving\, knitting\, tapestry\, film\, photography\, and mixed
  media\, the artists featured in this exhibition explore the soft power an
 d radical potential of textiles.\n\n\n\nSOFT SURGE features newly commissi
 oned works by Emily Waszak and Dee Mulrooney\, alongside existing works by
  contemporary female artists who mobilise cloth and fibre as both tactile 
 material and affective framework. Drawing inspiration from the Moirae\, th
 e Greek Fates who spun\, measured\, and cut the threads of life\, Soft Sur
 ge posits its exhibiting artists as weavers of narratives shaped by trauma
 \, resilience\, and embodied political agency.\n\n\n\nThis exhibition has 
 been kindly supported by The Arts Council.\n
