Our Place, playfully explores themes of happiness, human rights, and a sense of belonging by transforming the McKenna Gallery at Riverbank Arts Centre into a friendly multi-sensory environment through an electric combination of sound art, storytelling, tactile lighting, touchable sculptures and comfy seating for everyone to enjoy.

A soundscape will play through a system of 12 audio speakers in the gallery with adjustable volume. To further enhance this experience for everyone, three distinct sensory areas within the gallery space will be created including; a social seating area, a time out area, and a tactile string lighting and sculptural area. Lámh, braille and captioned descriptions of sound works will be available. A full breakdown of all accessible measures will be available on our website closer to the exhibition.

So come along to Our Place and listen to our sound art! Everyone is welcome.

Our Place is a new exhibition developed by artists AlanJames Burns and  Sinéad McCann in close collaboration with artists, who are supported by Saint John of God Liffey Services,. All creative decisions and ideas leading to the exhibition design were informed by collaborative workshops with all collaborators, including during a two week residency in Riverbank Arts Centre in February 2023.

Exhibition tours are also available via Riverbank Arts Centre.
