All IMMA Talks are recorded and the vast majority are made available on our Soundcloud page, an incredible free resource where you can hear directly from artists, curators and leading thinkers on the themes behind the work we present. We are in the process of transferring our Soundcloud archive to this new site, but in the meantime you can visit our full archive on Soundcloud, or search this site for transferred media below.
Join us for a dynamic conversation where artist Rachel Fallon who discusses her celebrated artistic practice and activists ideas, that are firmly rooted in the processes of making and collaboration. Fallon shares her preoccupations with the domestic realm, care, labour, craft, power relations, and women’s relationship to the state, as we reflect on the significant role that textiles plays within the artist’s work.
The talk opens with a presentation on several artworks featured in the IMMA exhibition The Narrow Gate Here-and-Now, within the chapters, Social Fabric and Protest and Conflict, that include artworks Artists’ Repeal the 8th Amendment Campaign, 2018, Apron of Solidarity II, 2021 and 15 possible things to say to someone you won’t see again, 2020.
This offers the departure point for a critical conversation on feminist art making histories with moderator, Martina Mullaney, who delves deeper into the activist, social, and political manifestations that are synonymous with Fallon’s practice, and shared interests of the mother role – socially, creatively, and intellectually
