IMMA Outdoors 2022 explores the environment and what it means to be radically public by creating an inclusive meaningful space for audiences of all ages to enjoy. Highlights include a new immersive sonic installation by Em’kal Eyongakpa in the Formal Gardens from May, and a stunning painted mural installation by Navine G.Dossos in the Courtyard from July. The outdoor programme will culminate in an Eco Event titled Earth Rising, a weekend celebration of people, place and planet in October.
IMMA Nights presents a wide variety of events including talks, workshops, dance, performances, film screenings, book launches, DJs and live music, across the site on Thursday and Friday evenings. IMMA will also share the site with other cultural organisations, initiatives and artist groups creating a hive of night-time activity in Dublin 8. Highlights include the return of IMMA’s much loved Summer Party taking place on 15 and 16 July; a curated series of poetry and song performances titled More than the Reverb, and a series of free Music in the Courtyard events throughout the summer.
Due to popularity IMMA Outdoors is delighted to bring back the artist collective Forerunner to re-stage its seating structures Y O U N G F O S S I I L across the site, once again offering visitors opportunities to lounge, loiter and reflect.
All this will be enriched by a daytime and late-evening offering, created by IMMA’s Visitor Engagement Team (VET), of bespoke garden tours, art workshops, yoga classes and family activities, that fuse the importance of well-being and engagement with ideas and creativity, offering visitors a space in which to convene, explore and reflect on aspects of the IMMA programme and beauty of the grounds and gardens.
The Flying Dog Café, located in the Courtyard, will open late for IMMA Nights on Thursday and Friday evenings until 8pm.
IMMA Nights is part of a pilot initiative to support the Night-Time Economy, funded by Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
