Curated by Julie Spollen.
Julie Spollen holds a B.Des from NCAD and an MA from Royal College of Art. She works in community and
care settings in Offaly. Her socially-alert practice is durational and focuses specifically on artistic interactions working with older participants.
She practices collaborative critical thinking in art and design contexts in order to enhance living conditions for participants and the wider community.
