In Conversation: New Irish Works 2026 | On Memory and the Family Archive

Artists Debbie Castro and Kate Nolan draw upon the family archive to complete narratives, investigating how memory is shaped, preserved, and transmitted.

PhotoIreland presents the 5th edition of New Irish Works in 2026 at the International Centre for the Image in Dublin. The ten projects exhibited in New Irish Works 2026 represent the growing diversity of contemporary photographic practices in Ireland. Find out more about the artists, the projects, and the issues discussed in this series of free artist talks.
