For this 37th edition, the EVA International Ireland's Biennial coincides with the century celebrations of the Easter Rising. Entitled Still (the) Barbarians, this twelve-week exhibition will investigate the post-colonial condition of Ireland as a turning point into arts representations. Koyo Kouoh, the curator, takes this time coincidence as an opportunity to engage artists into discussion about alienation, dispossession through the lens of subversion, transcendence and reappropriation aesthetics.
Since its creation in 1977, EVA Biennial has worked with over 2000 artists and has become a major public exhibition in Ireland.
This event is organised in partnership with the Cultural Service of the French Embassy.
