Institute of Technology Carlow and Carlow College St. Patrick’s have collaborated on a digital art exhibition that opens this evening (8th March) to celebrate International Women’s Day.
IAMINTHIS is a collection of art works from 20 global female artists across restricted borders. The project was devised in recognition of both college’s commitment to celebrating the international community in Carlow and practicing equality, inclusivity and diversity as a shared ethos across both campuses.
The exhibition will be projected digitally on the exterior walls of both institutions at 7pm this evening.
Karolyn McDonnell, a researcher with the National Centre for Men's Health based at IT Carlow, has curated the exhibition with the support of Klaudia Tarnowska, the IT Carlow arts officer. The collection features artists from Brazil, Lithuania, Sweden, France, and Colombia, amongst others. Ciara Ni Dhuinn, a talented illustrator from Carlow who is now based in Chicago, has also contributed to the project.
Because of social distancing regulations, visitors cannot attend the once-off exhibition but the launch will be recorded and broadcast on social media. A list of works and artists bios are available on Instagram and Facebook at the following links:
Best wishes to everyone involved.
