Reframing the Border curated by Gallery of Photography Ireland
for Remote Photo Festival
Disputed Territory Anthony Haughey
Remote Photo is a festival dedicated to photographers creating work in a remote or rural context. The theme for this year’s festival is ‘Reframing the Border’. The border in Ireland is one of the most important issues affecting the island of Ireland. As we approach the centenary of partition the possible imposition of a hard border has prompted intense speculation and debate. The ‘Reframing the Border’ exhibition at the Regional Cultural Centre presents work by established and emerging Irish-based photographers who explore the diverse physical, social, psychological and imagined spaces of the borderlands in Ireland at this critical point in time. Exhibition continues until 19 May 2018. Remote Photo Festival have invited leading artists, broadcasters creatives, curators, entrepreneurs, historians, politicians and writers to come together for a series of discussions and events to explore issues affecting the borderlands: past, present and future.
Weekend of exhibitions, talks and events on 11th, 12th & 13th May in the Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny, Donegal.
