Briefly

The International Centre for the Image opens on 17 July in Dublin's east docklands, featuring exhibitions by various artists that investigate the impact of images on power and extremism. This new venue, established by PhotoIreland, encompasses a 1,000-square-metre space with facilities including a studio and library.
