Programme
Bíodh Orm Anocht: In Touch With Horses
Artist Laura Ní Fhlaibhín and equine massage therapist Muriel Foxton will explore our relationship with horses through an artist talk and tactile workshop.
Ní Fhlaibhín will introduce her sculptural assemblages, which are the outcome of a collaboration with horses and ponies from the Festina Lente equine therapy centre in Bray, Co. Wicklow.
Foxton will facilitate a workshop exploring equine sensitivity, the nervous system, and the power of gentle touch.
Join us on Friday, 26 September 2025, 6–8pm. Attendance is free but capacity is limited. You can book your free ticket here.
