Our Summer at IMMA programme presents a series of renowned critical thinkers, writers, artists, activists and international curators to share their contemporary views. From keynote talks, artists’ discussions and in-gallery talks, this summer we draw on the current exhibitions and the IMMA Collection, to offer deeper reflection on the themes of breath, care, gender, representation, voice, and resistance, explored against the backdrop of an ever-present colonial past. These are just some of the topical issues we will address with international and local guests.
