CultureCraft21 January 2014 – 19 March 2014
Curated by Seliena Coyle.
CultureCraft showcases the work of 37 makers who have responded to the curator’s request for them to create an object which reflects their understanding of culture; and of how material objects can carry a community’s shared history and reflect a cultural perspective.
The exhibition includes work in a wide range of craft disciplines from both emerging young makers and those who are at the forefront of their field, embodying a wide variety of cultural identities and backgrounds.
The exhibition is supported by a specially produced catalogue, featuring essays from a number of leading academics - including Dr Audrey Whitty, Dr Jessica Hemmings, Dr Joseph McBrinn and Professor Declan McGonagle - which aim to contextualise the exhibition and convey the cultural importance of craft.
