The First Draft is an artistic homecoming, bringing internationally influenced work back to the roots of photographer Rich Gilligan’s creative journey. The exhibition revisits Gilligan’s early projects created around Blanchardstown which are presented as non-sequential vignettes exploring the complex relationship we often hold with the places that shape us, inviting audiences to experience a dialogue between past and present.
Still and moving image installations will transport visitors into the rich tapestry of life within subcultures, where transient moments explore the process of coming of age. A true celebration of Blanchardstown and beyond, this exhibition is an invitation to reflect on the places that hold our roots, and how they resonate across generations and geographies.
