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.

What does it mean to care – for ourselves, for others, and for society – across the lifespan? How can the arts and sciences expand our understanding of aging, health, and wellbeing?

This keynote talk by Regius Professor Rose Anne Kenny and following panel discussion brings together leading voices from medicine, contemporary art, and brain health to share interdisciplinary perspectives on how creativity, culture, and science shape the ways we age and care. We invite our panel to offer deeper reflection on what architectures of care are needed now and how we might build new systems – across science, culture, and society – to support longer, more meaningful lives.

This IMMA Talks event was developed in collaboration with IMMA Horizons and MISA through the Creative life pillar at St James hospital, and reflects a long standing partnership since 2017 that champions the role of the arts in enhancing health, wellbeing and quality of life in clinical settings and throughout the lifespan.

Contributors include Regius Professor Rose Anne Kenny, Director (MISA, James St Hospital) Leading researcher on the science of ageing and living a longer and healthier life; Brian Kennedy, BA, MA, PhD (Art Consultant & Fellow with The Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI); Annie Fletcher, Director, IMMA and others. Chaired and moderated by Bairbre Ann Harkin, Curator, IMMA Horizons.
