About the Exhibition
Breaking Borders aims to explore the intersection of multiple narratives and discourses in the arts, engaging a mix of conversations with the exhibiting artists accompanied by talks and performance art contributions.
The group exhibition intends to be an organic project to mix and match artists from all disciplines to contribute to the development of the arts in Ireland and artists’ practice across any discipline. This exhibition project offers a creative and digital approach to the arts to expand the physical exhibition space as a response to these current times where we witnessed an increasing use of technology to implement our reality

About the Artwork
This work tells the stories of people who live life on the border - be that the edge of a geography, an identity, or even time. For this series I invited personal stories from migrants and newcomers who have crossed physical and mental borders. Each text sculpture tells the story of an individual who feels they live life in between two places. Some have moved by choice and economic migration, and some have been forced to move due to war or other circumstances outside of their control. Although there is a big difference between these two types of migration, both can give insight into the intangible, unspoken forces of home, borders, place, duality and otherness. In particular it was important to find out the human side of their story - in contrast to impersonal reports about migration.
