Gorey Art School, December 2022-August 2023

PeripheriesPOST was an experimental art school facilitated by Emma Roche and James Merrigan with 20 artists and 4 guest mentors. Over eight months, group activities and discussion formed a space of experimentation and co-authorship. Over time we formed a shared community of ideas, feedback and art-making. The program culminated in a group exhibition in August 2023 entitled ‘Matters of Table’.
