A worthwhile event to visit tomorrow if you are able to! With the wonderful artist Aisling Roche

FREE EVENT
In Conversation with Aisling Roche and Dorota Borowa Sunday 28 June at 12 noon.

Aisling will be discussing her exhibition ‘Nacria’ with fellow artist Dorota, both inspired by fragile marine ecosystems.

Nacria takes its name from nacre, or mother-of-pearl, the iridescent substance formed gradually within seashells as a protective response. This process becomes a guiding metaphor throughout the exhibition, inviting viewers to reflect on the fragility of the marine world and our shared responsibility to protect it.

Free entry, all welcome
