IMMA Talks Summer at IMMA programme presents renowned critical thinkers, writers, artists, and international curators to share their contemporary views. From keynote talks, artists’ discussions and gallery talks, the summer programme draws on current exhibitions, the IMMA Collection and the L’internationale Museum of the Commons Summer School taking place from 7 to 11 July.

Exploring some of the most compelling issues of an interconnected world, a wide range of guests consider the intergenerational ties that binds a community, and deeper connections to land, heritage, care, agency, resistance and oral histories over time. These are just some of subjects we will addressing against the backdrop of ever-present legacies of colonialism, post conflict and impacts on the environment.
