'Mapping the Magdalene' talk with Alice Maher and Rachel Fallon

Artists Alice Maher and Rachel Fallon will discuss The Map, the monumental textile sculpture created collaboratively by the two artists.

Free, advance booking required via Eventbrite here.

As part of the Hugh Lane Gallery's diverse education programme in tandem with Bones in the Attic, The Map, a monumental textile sculpture created by artists Alice Maher and Rachel Fallon will be displayed in gallery 17 from 18 October to 30 October 2022. We are delighted to have artists Alice Maher and Rachel Fallon in the gallery to discuss their monumental, collaborative, textile work The Map, won display at the Hugh Lane Gallery from 18-30 October. The Map was originally exhibited at the Rua Red Gallery earlier this year, as part of the gallery's ongoing Magdalene exhibition series.

With its own continents, winds, currents, and constellations, The Map draws the viewer in, inviting a reorientation. Its richly worked surface is an epic Mappa Mundi where the structures and languages of cartography are used to imagine and re-imagine the life, legacy, and mythology of Mary Magdalene and her impact on women’s lives. An alternative topographic and psychic landscape is uncovered in this witty, complex un-picking of the established narrative of Mary Magdalene.
