The Douglas Hyde is delighted to present Through and Between, a group exhibition organised by the members of the 2025 Student Forum.
Through and Between seeks to capture the Student Forum’s sense of togetherness from exchanging ideas and knowledge throughout the year. The exhibition brings together the disparate practices of the group to create new connections. There are a broad range of works, across media and subject matter, that are in dialogue with one another, reflective of the experience of Student Forum members.
The title Through and Between draws on Carol Duncan’s idea of the museum as a ritual passage, a space visitors move through in ways that are choreographed. This resonated with the Student Forum cohort: “we too are in a kind of passage, between education and professional practice. The gallery becomes less of a container for art than a passage, a space where encounters happen, where variations meet, and where new connections unfold, through and between the works”.
Through and Between is an invitation to enter and share in the forum the group have created.
The exhibition participants are Anastassia Varabiova, Anna O’Leary, Bernadette Kenny, Shanaia Kapoor, Eoghan O’Kelly, Isabella Wood, Jack Pierce, Reuben Brown, Róise McGagh, Jessie Aylmer, James Ó Muirithe, Síofra Egan and Caoimhe Wandel-Brannigan.
