"Some of Dublin's best artwork can be found down narrow alleyways and in overlooked neighbourhoods-fitting for a city defined by small, independent galleries. Founded in 2023 by the nascent Contemporary Art Gallery Association, Dublin Gallery Weekend connects these lesser-known spaces, sometimes unfamiliar even to Dubliners, with the city's long-established art institutions. Running from 6-9 November, the 2025 programme promises "bold, experimental and unapologetic" work and features more than 100 artists across 20 venues throughout Ireland's capital."
"Central to her oeuvre are quipus, a knotted system of writing used in the Andes more than 5,000 years ago. Vicuña's practice includes performance, painting and installation, blending the political and personal. Aran Quipu (2025), one of her IMMA-specific works, looks at how ancestry and death are communicated and felt through references to Aran Island pattern-weaving traditions with a bone-like installation."
Dublin Gallery Weekend runs 6–9 November 2025 and links small independent galleries and lesser-known spaces with established art institutions across Dublin. The event was founded in 2023 by the Contemporary Art Gallery Association and features more than 100 artists across 20 venues. The 2025 programme promises bold, experimental and unapologetic work. Cecilia Vicuña's Reverse Migration at IMMA examines ecological collapse, memory and ancestral communication through quipus, performance, painting and installation, including an IMMA-specific Aran Quipu (2025) referencing Aran Island pattern-weaving with a bone-like installation. Reverse Migration is Vicuña's first Irish exhibition. Isabel Nolan presents Look at the Harlequins! at Kerlin Gallery until 22 November.
