Osmosis at Filmbase for Temple Bar Arts and Politics Weekend

Osmosis   is a visual art exhibition at  Filmbase  in Dublin's Temple Bar in which selected artists explore perceptions of memory and identity through small concept-driven objects.

I began re-editing it in early 2017, and presented a version of it at the Language & Migration symposium in NUI Galway...
