ABOUT

EVA International, Ireland's biennial of contemporary art, is pleased to announce the full programme and exhibitions venues for the 2016 edition. Still (the) Barbarians is curated by Koyo Kouoh and is open to the public from April 16 to July 17 with a press preview on Thursday, April 14, and porfessional preview and launch on Friday April 15.

Within the context of the 1916 Easter Rising centenary, Still (the) Barbarians investigates the post-colonial condition of Ireland as a point of departure from where artistic reflections, critical redefinitions and political trasnformations are articulated. 

The biennial programme will address artistic, architectural, literary and critical positions that interpret colonial effects on the psyche, landscape and imagination, and that continue to shape our present condition. Diasporic dispersions caused by invasive disruptions of social, cultural, religious and political orders have long been subject matter for artists, writers, filmmakers, architects, scientists and activists. Coinciding with the centenary of the Easter Rising, Still (the) Barbarians aims to draw a concentric artistic and political cartography, mapping the conflations and confines of the global post-colonial typology with Ireland as its central starting point.
