Only 3 Days left to see Now Listen Closely Fellow Humans at the awards show in the .arts ✨

‘In Now Listen Closely Fellow Humans (2024) Clara McSweeney responds to the peculiarities of three vacant buildings in Dublin City Centre. Monologues spoken by actors are played through speakers in a drainpipe, air vent and intercom. We are invited to eavesdrop on these recordings which the artist describes as ‘confessions’ in which the buildings themselves are voicing their deepest fear, anxieties and confusions’ - For Our Attention - Niamh O Malley

Closes on Saturday the 25th of January ✨
