Border Biennale Exhibiton Launch July 19th

Border Biennale 2025 Exhibition Launch

Takes place Sat 19 July at 3pm, Townhall Arts Centre, Cavan.

 

 

The second edition of the Border Biennale officially opens at Townhall Cavan, co-curated by internationally renowned artist Rita Duffy and Joe Keenan.

This powerful exhibition brings together national and international artists to explore the absurdities and realities of borders; political, cultural, and psychological.

With works addressing themes from migration and identity to climate and conflict, the Biennale continues to grow in ambition and impact.

 

 

Co-curated by internationally acclaimed artist Rita Duffy and Townhall Artist Liason Joe Keenan. This year’s exhibition features powerful and thought-provoking work by:

  • Miriam de Búrca (Berlin-born, Ireland-based)
  • Pascal Ungerer (Cork)
  • Sally O’Dowd (Breffni-born, Belfast-based)
  • Rita Duffy (Belfast-born, Ballyconnell-based)

 

As Duffy notes in The Anglo Celt recently, “Borders seem to be very last century thinking,” and this exhibition invites audiences to reimagine the border not as a line of division, but as a space of shared creativity and critical reflection.

 

Date and time:

08 July 2025 to 04 September 2025
