The Conditions of Being Here | Student Forum 2026 at the Douglas Hyde Gallery

Event Details

The Douglas Hyde is delighted to present a group exhibition organised by the members of the 2026 Student Forum.

Reflecting the group’s exchange of ideas and perspectives throughout the year, the exhibition reveals the ways that the members navigate, shape, and become influenced by their environments – urban and rural, imagined and physical. To be somewhere is to encounter conditions that were already there, calling into question structures of access, ownership, architecture, expectation and behaviour.⁠
