As part of her exhibition at Pallas, Argentinian artist Florencia Caiazza has invited one of The Mothership project founders, artist and lecturer Seoidín O'Sullivan to join her in conversation to talk to and think about her work before and after having a child. She will discuss what her attentions are currently drawn to through this experience of becoming a mother and how she is thinking about materiality, touch, time and interruption in her new circumstances. The audience is invited to converse and discuss their own responses in relation to these themes. Children are welcome.

An extended look at the first event of Entangled Life programme at Pallas Projects.
Panel talk: The Art of Just Transition - Wednesday, 14th May 2025
https://pallasprojects.org/news/the-art-of-just-transition.

Guests: Rachel Fallon (Artist)
Dr. Egle Gusciute (Assistant Professor in Sociology, University College Dublin)
Michelle Murphy (Research & Policy Analyst with Social Justice Ireland and member of Just Transition Commission)

The transition towards a green economy negatively impacts the most vulnerable part of the population and it must be fair, inclusive and involving every part of the society. The Art of Just Transition is a space where voices of the community converge to explore what a ‘just transition’ truly means. This event brings together an artist, a scientist and an independent research & policy analyst to examine the ecological, social, and political dimensions of the green transition, using creative expression to illuminate urgent environmental and justice issues.

Through interdisciplinary discussion, The Art of Just Transition addresses the interconnected challenges of inequality, climate justice, and urban ecologies, enabling new perspectives. By connecting diverse disciplines, this event invites dialogues, and provokes critical thought, inspiring radical imagination and meaningful change to shape the life of the society.

We invite the wider community and communities of interest to join us in this open conversation, and to share their insights and perspectives. Time is set before and after the talk to gather informally. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and share their thoughts and experience in a relaxed exchange, blurring the usual roles of panellist and audience.

Entangled Life, supported by Community Foundation Ireland, is a programme exploring the deep connections between climate, society, and the ecosystems where art and community intertwine. This initiative unravels heterogeneous climate and social topics, by understanding ecology as a complex web of relationships—between humans, the more-than-human world, and political and natural environments. 

Entangled Life aims to provide space to facilitate a network of relationships, collaboration and engagement within the community. Over the course of 8 months the project will bring together community participants, artists and experts for a series of monthly panel talks, workshops and artistic interventions at Pallas Projects, culminating in an exhibition in December 2025.

Events take place Wednesdays, 6–8pm. Participants are welcome to attend some or all events
