August Professional Development: Artists Exploring Archives in Contemporary Art Practice

August Professional Development: Artists Exploring Archives in Contemporary Art Practice

August 16 - August 16, 2025
10am-1pm
Creative Zone, Boole Library, University College Cork
This event is FREE but booking is required due to limited space. CLICK HERE to book.

Join us for an insightful half-day seminar exploring how contemporary artists engage with archives in their creative practice. Through artist presentations and a panel discussion, we will examine the dynamic ways artists are reimagining archival material, drawing from personal, public, and institutional collections.

This event will also highlight collaborative projects between artist Elize de Beer and artist/archivist Barbra Diener who are exploring the Liam Kennedy Collection housed at the UCC Special Collections Library. They will speak to how such partnerships can unlock new narratives and expand the boundaries of both artistic and archival work.
Whether you are an artist, researcher, student, or art enthusiast, this seminar offers a unique opportunity to hear from artists and archivists working at the intersection of memory, heritage, and contemporary art.
This seminar has been funded and supported by UCC Special Collections Library as well as Sample-Studios through the Studios of Sanctuary Programme funded by Rethink Ireland Resilient Cork Fund and Community Foundation Ireland.
