Taking animal husbandry as represented self-sufficiency Shiro Masuyama travelled in Ireland (2012), Peru (2014) and Mongolia (2015) to make the three projects included in this show: “knitting the woollen jumper for the sheep I sheared using its own wool”, “weaving the scarf for the alpaca I sheared using its own wool” and “making a saddle for the Bactrian camel I sheared using its own wool”.
FESTIVAL
Songs of the Damned
The Grand Social, Lower Liffey St, Dublin 8.30pm imram.ie
Always a gathering to challenge and stretch the imagination, this year’s IMRAM festival presents Songs of the Damned, a doffing of the cap to The Pogues, with poet and singer Marcus Mac Conghail joined by Belfast band The Pogoes. Raucous irreverence should be the order of the evening.
