Barbara Diener will offer 2 talks and tours of her solo exhibition The Rocket’s Red Glare for Culture Night 2026. The tours will commence at 5:30pm and 6:30pm, respectively.

The Rocket’s Red Glare is a new solo exhibition by Barbara Diener exploring the contested legacy of Wernher von Braun and the ways history is shaped, remembered, and rewritten. Weaving together photography, archival material, and family images from World War II, the exhibition reflects on memory, landscape, and the uneasy relationship between technological progress and conflict. Blending documentary photography with mixed realities, Diener invites audiences to question the stories we inherit and those we choose to tell.

Sarah Long is Artist in Residence in TRISKEL SAMPLE Project Space from 3 September – 25 October. A Cork-based artist, she creates autofiction that she translates across painting, performance and publication. I Want To Talk About Ireland is a new work of autofiction she will develop during this residency which will be translated into a spoken world album. This art object centres around ideas of dreams, language and nationhood through a feminist lens. Sarah will be performing part of this work on Culture Night alongside this listening event.
