Photowalk, at Printworks, Dublin Castle as part of PhotoIreland Festival 2022

PhotoIreland Festival 2022 held a Professional Weekend programmed in support of artists and with the participation of a number of national and international guests. One of the public elements of the programme was the Photo Walks.
The Photo Walks provide an open and accessible way for artists to show their work not only to visiting professionals and peers, but also to the the public, allowing for direct engagement. This is a unique opportunity for audience members to not only view works but to directly meet and engage with the artists.
Participating artists are invited to present their portfolios, whether in printed or digital format, and hold conversations with interested audiences. I was lucky enough to have taken part in this event on Saturday the 16th of July 2022.
A huge thank you to Julia, Angel and the whole PhotoIreland team for organising such a wonderful weekend. I was introduced to many new practices and artists and it was lovely to meet fellow photographers and artists,
