Solamh Kelly will be joined by friends from Cork’s surprisingly populous improvisation circuit to create sound just after the sun reaches its annual zenith. Inspiration will be drawn from exhibiting work, the particular place, time, weather and whatever is brewing on the day.

Feedback is an exhibition across two spaces which considers holistic and ecological approaches to arts production and exhibition making, that resonates with permaculture methodology and the blending of its core principles Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. Studio 12 at Backwater Artists’ Studios will be offered as an active space, which focuses on the contextual aspects of the exhibition. Whilst the Cork County Library Gallery Headquarters will be meditative and allow for immersive encounters with works that consider material and process. Narratives emerging from the exhibition reflect on the micro and macro relationships that can exist between ourselves, each other and the vast, mysterious and terribly beautiful non-human world.

Róisín Foley is a curator, writer and professional gardener who works with permaculture sensibilities. She lives and works in West Cork.
