Previous festivals
Three years of strange events in galleries, studios, back rooms and the street. We couldn't have done any of it without the places that took us in including the ones that aren't here any more.
The Graveyard Exhibition
This year the festival is a wake. The theme is the death of Dublin nightlife, and to mark it we're commemorating the venues the city has lost: the clubs, the stages, the back rooms, and the nights that went with them.
In memory of
- Twisted Pepper
- Izakaya
- District 8
- Andrews Lane
- The Kitchen
- Bernard Shaw
A roll call for Dublin’s lost dancefloors, stages and strange little rooms.
- What
- An exhibition for our fallen friends: headstones for a handful of the venues Dublin has lost, out around the city for a day or two, then gathered in one place
- When
- October; dates to be announced
- Where
- Around the city first, then a venue to be announced
- Why
- Halloween is the night the dead come back
The Poster
This year’s artwork is by Studio Kenya, who drew most of the strange things you see around the festival.
