Date: Thursday, 17th September
Location: Online

As part of Visual Artists Ireland’s Get Together 2026, Navigating Power in Contemporary Curating brings together an international group of curators, researchers and cultural producers to examine how contemporary exhibition-making is responding to changing political, social and economic conditions.

Across the day, Alenka Gregorič considers how Cukrarna Gallery negotiates cultural memory and contemporary practice; former Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff reflects on the politicisation of institutional programming; and Nick Aikens looks at public trust, accountability and the changing civic role of arts institutions. John Tain draws on the Lahore Biennale to explore new models of globalism amid climate and social crises, while João Laia approaches exhibition-making through q***r, performative and sensorial perspectives.

The Rogue's Gallery | Conor Walton at The Courthouse Gallery
The Rogue’s Gallery turns its attention to the human-made systems driving instability, and the ways power is staged, performed, and normalised. These portraits operate like contemporary history painting, using the language of classical figuration to confront a culture where influence is theatrical and “truth” is increasingly negotiable. In a year that repeatedly returns to what endures, and what collapses, Walton asks what we are choosing to preserve, and what we are willing to overlook.

According to my Eyes | Siobhán Collins at MTU Cork School of Music
'According to my Eyes' is a solo exhibition by Siobhán Collins at MTU Cork School of Music. In this new body of work, paintings of familiar subjects hover between recognition and uncertainty, inviting viewers to linger and look again. The works draw attention to the physical act of painting as much as to what is represented.

The Fragment | Jenni Robinson at Seacourt Print Workshop
This is a work-in-progress curation of Jenni's Motherhood Places project work.
Previously described as a landscape painter, during the pre-school years she made art in bits and pieces as time allowed. Much of that was in-situ wherever she was paused with free hands, and eventually her sketchbooks no longer contained just landscapes, but the wider scope of places.
