In Conversation: Miriam O'Connor with Dr. Declan Jordan

The Glucksman, University College Cork

Fri 11 Oct 2024 (note: this event has already taken place)
1pm
FREE


This October, The Glucksman are hosting three in-conversation lunchtime talks with artists featured in their current exhibition Groundwork: Climate Awareness in the UCC Art Collection. Each artist will explore their practice with an expert from University College Cork across themes of biodiversity, extraction and economics.

Expanding climate awareness through visual art encourages a greater account for stewardship of our damaged planet. Creative practice can be a location and moment of connection that transcends the everyday, offering the opportunity to think differently. Visual art, in this sense, allows us to consider the intricate relationships which impact the natural world and where and how we can situate ourselves in it.

Join artist Miriam O'Connor and Dr. Declan Jordan (Cork University business School) for a conversation that will explore art, economics, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. O'Connor's artworks Will you be an agent for change? (2023) and Small-scale studies for brighter futures (2023) feature in the current Glucksman exhibition Groundwork: Climate Awareness in the UCC Art Collection and they will serve as the starting point for this conversation.
