The 20th edition of the TULCA Festival of Visual Arts is taking place in venues across Galway City from 4th - 20th November, 2022 - enjoy a gallery of images from this year's festival above.
The 2022 festival programme is titled The World Was All Before Them, with a theme that addresses the notion of futurity and asks – in this moment of global change, upheaval and uncertainty – what the political potentials might be in imagining new futures and envisioning new ways of being in this world.
Curated by Clare Gormley, the featured works conjure a vision of the future tied to the world we live in now, with its inequities as well as its possibilities. It aims to question how we might make our existing world a more liveable place.
Contributors to the festival include artists, filmmakers, writers and poets, among them Anouk Kruithof, Becca Albee, Berte & Harmey, Caroline Jane Harris, Chloe Cooper, Christopher Steenson, Elise Rasmussen, Emily Speed, Esmeralda Conde Ruiz, Judith Dean, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Michael Hanna, Nicoline van Harskamp, Quentin Lacombe, Tabitha Soren, Tadhg Ó Cuirrín and The Lifeboat.
TULCA features a programme of multi-venue exhibitions and events including seminars, workshops and an Education Programme with artist talks and gallery tours that focus on looking at and responding to contemporary visual art - find out more here.
