TULCA Festival of Visual Arts is pleased to present: there’s nothing here but flesh and bone, there’s nothing more, curated by Eoin Dara.
Festival dates: 5 - 21 November 2021, pending government restrictions and public health advice.
Contributors to there’s nothing here but flesh and bone, there’s nothing more are artists, filmmakers, writers and poets:
Sophia Al-Maria, Claire Biddles, Renèe Helèna Browne, Miriam de Búrca, CAConrad, Mariah Garnett, Lauren Gault, Patrick Hough, Adrien Howard & K Patrick, Jasmine Johnson, Vishal Jugdeo & vqueeram, Stanya Kahn, Theodore Kerr, Sekai Machache, Mira Mattar, The Many Headed Hydra, Mícheál McCann, Tonya McMullan, Harun Morrison, Isobel Neviazsky, Laura Ní Fhlaibhín, Nisha Ramayya, Amanda Rice and Jay G Ying.
there’s nothing here but flesh and bone, there’s nothing more will unfold gently across different sites in the city in November including the An Post Gallery, Galway Arts Centre, Columban Hall, 126 Artist-Run Gallery, Nun’s Island Theatre, and Pálás Cinema.
This project is an aggregate of many unwieldy things including wet caresses, soft affection, immortal loves, necessary resistance, quiet rest, careful togetherness, boundless longing, abiding loss, honeyed scents, close correspondence, vocal exaltation, enduring solidarity, unexpected intimacies, ecstatic whispers and deep tenderness.
Everyone is warmly invited to this unfolding, to be touched by new artworks and ideas temporarily inhabiting Galway at the beginning of an unknowable winter.
The names listed above have been drawn together through a process of direct invitation as well as through TULCA’s annual open call, which closed in April of this year. Of the 24 artistic presences within this year’s programme (which includes 3 collaborative practices), 14 were invited and 10 were selected through the open call. Further to this, several of these voices will speak through letters and written correspondence which will be gathered together to form this year’s TULCA publication as well as appear throughout Galway during the run of the festival.
