A Journey I Started Alone - Exhibition at the Glucksman from 4 January to 15 January 2023

 A Journey I Started Alone

An exhibition of newly commissioned paintings by artist Ciara Roche

The Glucksman is inviting you to view a series of newly commissioned paintings by artist Ciara Roche this January for the First Fortnight Festival. The paintings were produced as the result of a series of creative consultations hosted by the Glucksman and supported by Good Shepherd, where the artist worked with a group of people who have experienced homelessness. The group shared insights into their lives, providing the content and inspiration that would enable the artist to reflect on their stories and create new artworks. The paintings address a wide range of themes including the traumatic experience of homelessness and its impact on people’s mental health as well as looking at the importance of a supportive community and the care provided in emergency accommodation settings.

A Journey I Started Alone will be on view from Wednesday 4 January to Sunday 15 January 2023.
