Vanessa Daws developed her research weekly via open water swim films in the Grand Canal and Liffey, all of which are from a swimmer’s perspective. Her practice combines the physical act of swimming, capturing her swims with a go-pro camera and bringing performance into her art practice with a community of interest.

We were honoured to host @CommonGroundDub yesterday for the launch of the first volume of James Connolly's collected works edited by @CMacCaba. The launch concluded with a truly amazing performance of 'Oh Where is Our James Connolly' in the East Wing by @EoghanOCPBP
📗A truly historic book launch event - The Lost and Early Writings of James Connolly - by @CMacCaba. In the surroundings of Kilmainham Gaol, Connolly's continuing relevance, his love of Dublin, and his creativity and wit were brought to life by the speakers.

Around half of Iskra’s steering committee is currently at Kilmainham Gaol for a brilliant book launch event with @CMacCaba for “The Lost and Early Writings of James Connolly, 1889-1898.”
An incredibly poignant place for a launch, as the site of James Connolly’s execution.
