Track: Queer Embodiment

The Narrow Gate of the Here-and-Now - Chapter One

Seán Kissane Curator, Exhibitions, who introduces the exhibition The Narrow Gate of the Here and Now, and theme of focus, Queer Embodiment. This first chapter draws on the Museum’s Collection and Archive that reflect a strong history of feminist practice, relaying the defiance of women in Ireland against church and state oppression, as well as queer histories that capture moments of resistance and joy. Through a selection works, Kissane’s talk looks at the legislative changes that occurred in Irish society such as the decriminalisation of homosexuality (1993), provision of divorce (1996), marriage equality (2015) and the repeal of the Eighth Amendment (2018). The exhibition positions IMMA’s inception in 1991 as part of a crucial moment in the history of globalisation, within wider European contexts.

plum tree

First DJ set of three from Glastonbury 2022 - Everyone was in a supremely cheerful mood, and the weather was simmering beautifully, so we joined in with a whole raft of solid gold re-edits and remixes, and a sprinkling of K-classics at the end for good measure.

Huge thanks to Chris & Jess and the Cornish crew for having us, and to everyone that popped by for a drink and a boogie!

LYRICS:
Sound the alarms,
Let’s raise our palms
To the system that’s meant to serve us.
We’re just brush strokes, not anything goes
on a paint by numbers canvas.

The canaries in its cage,
Voice chocked, from its calling,
Wake up, this is your final warning. 

Did it just get really hot?
Or are we in a boiling pot,
Simmering, waters rising,
Trees roots are writhing.
Can’t relax!
See it all unravel and lose track.
Watch our worlds spinning on its collapse,
as it shakes us of its back.
DECYCLE.

Defect, destruct, decycle.
Defect, destruct, decycle.
And slowly becoming idle...

Decycle, Disarm, Disengage
Deactivate the cage
And cogs, be a spanner
In a life consumed by work and plans
Find peace in falling to pieces
Find calm waters where the oil ceases

The ocean waves drown out the hiss
While the sharp edges fade in seaside mist
 
All this waste, can’t replace.
Poison in the air,
smoke in your face.

The bees are disappearing,
dropping one by one.
Can you hear them screaming?
No longer buzzing along.

Can you see it now?
There’s no going back.
As we defecate on natures path.

Defect, disarm, disengage.
Defect, destruct, decycle.
Defy in nature's rage...
