Monica Flynn has curated Lived Lives: A Pavee Perspective (Materialising Stories of Young Irish Suicide), at Pavee Point, Dublin. This exhibition began as a research project and travelling exhibition initiated by researchers Kevin Malone and artist Seamus Mc Guinness, working with photographer Robert Ellis. The Lived Lives exhibition comprises a number of archive rooms containing objects and images associated with the suicide-deceased, film documentation, and short research films documenting the human engagement and process of the project, as well as the installation 21grammes (pictured) and Lost Portrait Gallery by Seamus McGuinness. 

Hollie Kearns and Rosie Lynch, Workhouse Union (20 Nov-22 Nov 2015), presented new work and research by Bridget O'Gorman, Brian Cregan, Deirdre O'Mahony, Vagabond Reviews, Katherine  Waugh and Orlaith Treacy. The programme includes installations, video, films, performance and discussion. 

Taking place in the front wing of the original ‘H-block’ building, the Workhouse is transformed into Callan Workhouse Union. This will be a shared space for art, design, research and community facilities, with local engagement and public events. This upcoming weekend's series of public events will launch a newly developed research library, designed by LiD Architecture. Memberships in 2015-2016, now available.
