Rua Red

Join us tonight at 18:00 for the launch of The Collie, The Cheviot & The Crouched Skeleton, a major new commission by artist Orla Barry ( ).

In 2024, Rua Red Director/Curator Maolíosa Boyle () invited Orla Barry to create new work in response to the rural communities of South Dublin. This commission sought to open up new connections with farming communities of the area. With humour, respect and close attention to rural knowledge, the work considers the farm walk as a means of entering into relation with land, labour, memory and community.

The exhibition will run from 10 July—26 September 2026.
