Alliance Francaise de Cork
Dr. Alicia St. Leger will give an illustrated talk exploring the fascinating story of the White Star Line's most famous ship - Titanic. She will examine the background to the creation of the Titanic and her sister ships Olympic and Britannic, each of which was the largest ship in the world when built. The last port of call for the Titanic on her maiden voyage was Queenstown (now Cobh) in County Cork. The ship sank four days later, on 15 April 1912, with the loss of about 1,500 lives. Since 1912 the tragedy has been recalled in books, films and in many other media. The Titanic is probably the most famous ship in the world and, in this centenary year, continues to fascinate all who explore her story. More

Aleana Egan's art is predominantly intuitive and subjective; she uses simple materials, assembled or barely transformed, to create enigmatic works that have a restrained tone and structure. She groups these pieces into installations that are oddly ambivalent; on the one hand she draws our attention to the way things look, how they settle, sag, curve, or hang; on the other, her forms and shapes act as traces or memories, and as a tentative articulation of shifting responses to remembered places or everyday moments. Gaps and absences are at the heart of what Egan does, and this is what makes her work a little puzzling. Similarly, her frequent literary and historical allusions, which are never explained, are reticent and elliptic. More

The textile paintings in this exhibition were made by Mbuti pygmies of the Ituri rainforest in the Congo. The material, bark cloth, is created by men in the tribe; it is then decorated by women, using a mixture of charcoal and natural pigments. The designs are related to body painting and have traditional symbolic meanings; the textiles themselves are used as garments and objects of trade. More
