The Irish word ciúnas, meaning calm, quietness and repose, is the starting point for this exhibition. Bringing together artists from Cork City and County, the showcase invites reflection on the many ways calmness can be experienced, discovered and understood.
Through responses to nature and landscape, memory and solitude, community, place and the rhythms of everyday life, the artists explore what it means to find moments of stillness in an often restless world. Set against the darker days of winter, Ciúnas offers an invitation to pause, to look more closely and to find space for quiet reflection.
