An exhibition of works by Beth Moyses
Lourdes Viso and Róisín Russell are delighted to present an exhibition of works by international Brazilian artist Beth Moyses, whose work has never before been exhibited in Ireland. Her video piece Gotejando (Dripping) and photographs from the performance Mosaico branco por 60 mulheres (White mosaic by 60 women) will be on show at the Sycamore in Dublin.
Women's Aid has been working to address the issue of domestic violence in Ireland for more than 30 years. Women's Aid is a national voluntary organisation which provides support and information to women and their children who are being physically, emotionally, financially and sexually abused in their own homes. We provide direct services to women experiencing domestic violence through our National Freephone Helpline 1800 341 900 and our one to one and court accompaniment service.
A percentage of exhibition sales will be donated in support of Women´s Aid
Kindly sponsored by photographer David Monahan, the Sycamore and Mercury Framing
Supported by the Brazilian Embassy and Joe Stanley, director of the art programme at the Sycamore.
Beth, I work with Women's Aid Ireland and we are delighted to be a part of your exhibition in Dublin. The opening on Wednesday night was packed, but the quiet/terrible beauty of Gotejando drew people in and was the centre of the night. The speakers addressed violence against women not only as an 'international' or 'development' issue, but also acknowledged its presence at home here in Ireland as well. It is a very hidden crime and is still not openly acknowledged often enough, so this was very refreshing. I really admire your approach to art and wish you all the best with your future work. -Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I repeat that It is a pleasure for me to show my work in Dublin, and It's very important to have Women's Aid as a part of the exhibition. Thank you very much for your presence and support. I hope that many people that were in the exhibition or read an article about it are think about this theme. Beth Moysés
