Hi Cork Cultural Companions
Welcome to 2026! We’re so excited to bring you another year of exceptional international and Irish arthouse cinema, visual arts exhibitions and collaborations, and live music showcases. With a double bill of two featured cinema seasons, the start of our Spring String Quartet Series, and the first visual arts residency of the year, we are back with a bang this January!
Triskel Cinema returns on Friday 9 January with a second David Lynch season to mark the anniversary of his passing. David Lynch films have a dreamlike quality with an air of mystery or menace, all the while maintaining a wonderfully off-the-wall sense of humour. Since January 2026 would have marked his 80th birthday, Triskel Arts Centre will screen four of his finest feature length films, including TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME and MULHOLLAND DRIVE, to celebrate his legacy.
The end of this David Lynch season will coincide with our upcoming Ben Wheatley season, starting Sunday 25 January. We are delighted that Ben will be in attendance to present his latest film BULK, and we will also be screening his earlier films KILL LIST, A FIELD IN ENGLAND and HIGH-RISE.
Triskel Sample Project Space welcomes Síomha Callanan. Starting Friday 9 January, her exhibitions will explore in depth the island on which Cork City centre stands, creating a new body of work based entirely on this specific part of the city. Her aim is to walk every street on the island and take photographs of what she encounters.
The Calathea Quartet is a dynamic ensemble comprising musicians from New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, and England. With a keen interest in championing the works of underrepresented composers, they play a wide variety of repertoire from the stalwarts of the classical canon to contemporary compositions, with a particular focus on the works of composers of marginalised genders. This award-winning quartet will be performing works by Haydn, Marian Ingoldsby and Benjamin Britten in a spellbinding matinee on Saturday 17 January.
Dr Matthew Whyte returns with another season of his Art History Reframed series. That starts on Tuesday 20 January and you can get a 20% discount on the series now.
There are more events to come over the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned!
See you soon,
Gillian and the team at Triskel
