Debbie Godsell - A Space for Lismore
Debbie Godsell has spent the year facilitating a series of printmaking workshops with a group of women from Lismore. Through conversation and making, the group has reflected on themes of identity, belonging, memory and place. The project now culminates in a new exhibition at St Carthage Hall, presenting a series of soft-sculptural self-portraits created by the participating women.

Join us for the Exhibition Launch on Saturday, 22 August, 3 - 5pm:
3pm: St Carthage Hall, Chapel St, Lismore
4pm: A walk departing St Carthage Hall to see the new Print Studio at Lismore Castle Arts.
ALL WELCOME

Introducing Invited Curator Colin Martin (Colin Martin )

Colin Martin is an artist and lecturer based in Dublin. He is currently Head of the RHA School. He is a graduate of TU Dublin and NCAD and his current practice is concerned with the intersection of analogue painting with digital and technological cultures.

Martin has been an active participant and educator in the Irish visual arts cultural landscape acting as the chairperson in Black Church Print Studio where he initiated projects such as Black Church Process and the A&E public talk series. He has been member of the RHA Council and Programme Board and has initiated public talk series, national and international artist master classes, drawing groups, Critical Correspondence Courses and structured skill workshops for artists at the RHA.
