I'm delighted to be part of a major exhibition this March in Momentum Fine Art, Miami. “Talamh”, featuring work by eight contemporary Irish photographers, will be formally launched by Minister of State Niamh Smyth TD on Thursday, March 12, 2026, 8pm. A book signing and artist talk will take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 6pm.

Talamh is the Irish word for “land” or “ground,” and carries meanings that extend beyond physical terrain to include heritage, memory, and belonging. The show brings together works by eight Ireland-based contemporary photographers working across a range of themes and united by a shared commitment to long-form photographic projects; Conor Horgan, Shane Lynam, Fionn McCann, Malcolm McGettigan, Yvette Monahan, Brían Sparks, and Agata Stoinska. For this exhibition, Island Photographers have invited Linda Brownlee to exhibit alongside the group.

Talamh explores Ireland as a country shaped by tensions: between extraction and restoration, the inner and outer landscape, deep time and the present moment. What emerges is a portrait of a place both familiar and newly revealed, rooted in history yet continually reshaped by change. Each of the eight artists have experienced this landscape in distinct ways, responding to or interpreting it through the prism of their lived experience. Despite these individual perspectives, overlapping concerns emerge, and their works are bound by the zeitgeist of their era.

The works trace the fine line between myth and lived experience, revealing how both continue to inform the Irish gaze. Ireland is presented not as a fixed idea, but as a living, shifting territory formed by culture,politics, and the people who move through it.
