KIRKOS IS HOLDING A TENTH ANNIVERSARY MINI-FESTIVAL IN UNIT 44, FROM JULY 28TH TO JULY 31ST.

We’d love to see you for a four-day celebration of the first ten years of Kirkos. Running July 28th through 31st, it will be an off-beat, musically adventurous way to spend the bank holiday weekend. Everything is free (though booking is recommended) and centres on our informal venue Unit 44 on Prussia Street, between Stoneybatter and Cabra.

Events include:

— an installation performance marking the recent launch of Susan Geaney’s release Tape Melt
— the first Dublin screening of Eimear Walshe’s Land Cruiser
— Dublin’s first, and possibly last, “Fluxus Open Mic” (all welcome to participate, if you dare)
— a trip to nearby Phoenix Park for outdoor performances of music by Robert Coleman and Karen Power
— and three concerts performed by Kirkos. These concerts include performances of newly commissioned work from some of our dearest collaborators: Robbie Blake, Éna Brennan and Jonathan Nangle.

SATURDAY 30 [7PM]:

LAND CRUISER (2022) is a kind of a desperate work for desperate times.

A car journey through the housing market looking for somewhere to have sex.

Eimear Walshe is an artist from Longford. Their work is made public through sculpture, publishing, video, performance and lectures, or combinations of these forms. Their practice is based on research in fiscal and sexual economies and histories, working to reconcile the aesthetics, values and tastes of their queer and rural subjectivity. They also publish writing in various adaptations of artist memoir in reference to role models including Claude Cahun, Dolly Parton, and St Joseph.
