The exhibition will be accompanied by an exhibition viewing and talk by Dr Loic Bourdeau at Studio 12, Backwater Artists Group and MTU Crawford College of Art & Design Lecture Theatre on Friday 17 October at 12 noon. Tickets are available on Eventbrite. The event will begin with an exhibition viewing at Studio 12 at 12 noon and continue to the MTU Crawford College of Art & Design Lecture Theatre.
The talk, ‘This is how it all begins’, explores the ways Pauline Keena’s practice transforms remains, fragments, and instruments into art that speaks of memory, grief, and care. Drawing connections between Keena’s textiles and contemporary debates in the medical humanities, the talk reflects on how art can hold what words cannot, offering forms of remembrance, attention, and repair. The lecture will be followed by a conversation with Pauline Keena and an open Q&A.
