Exhibition Pepe Carretero

Tøn Gallery is proud to present ÍNTIMO/ERÓTICO.

Pepe Carretero (Tomelloso, Spain) defends in his themes the life he knows and recreates them regardless of the tendencies of the cultural world. His works introduce us in a personal and unique world, where traditional realistic forms converge inside a European figuration that surprises us by its peculiarity.

Tøn Gallery is a contemporary art space in Temple Bar, Dublin’s cultural hub. It is a space dedicated to the contemplation of art and a place to present artistic projects that demonstrate the creative process and creative thinking to the wider public. It is in turn an exhibition space, as well as a studio / workshop and also a reading room, lecture room and a quiet refuge in the busy city centre.

After Eight

AFTER EIGHT is a new monthly early club night with pumping dance music, where the dancing starts at 8pm and finishes at midnight. RUN by Giita Hammond who is a music nerd, dancer, visual artist and photographer. TUNES by resident GIITA and a rotation of the best djs in Dublin. Expect pumping dance music – electro, synth bangers, techno, Italo, house and disco. The next After Eight will be on Pride night June 29th with music by SHREM and support by GIITA. TIckets go on sale on 9am on Thursday the 6th of June on Eventbrite.

SHREM is a Dublin-based Polish blogger, music selector/DJ and occasional radio host. He is a self-proclaimed über-nerd, a music-obsessed collector, selector and reflector with his taste spanning across a multitude of genres, styles, decades and cultures and his own private Top 20 chart he’s been passionately compiling continuously since 1987. A resident vinyl selector at The Big Romance, Fidelity and Lovetempo and a frequent guest dj at Mother club’s Library Bar and Anseo, he is a lover of sonic eclecticism. In a club setting he floats between the worlds of house, disco, italo, electro, synth-pop with a solid dose of 80’s and 90’s belters thrown in for good measure and a few mandatory diva moments.

GIITA is half Icelandic and half Irish. She grew up in Reykjavik and moved to Dublin in 2000. She has always been a lover of music, gigs and dancing in clubs. She went back to Reykjavík for one year with her family last year. She missed the clubs and the music scene in Dublin, so she started her own club night called After Eight, an early club night, with the best djs from Reykjavik playing every month. One of her favourite Irish djs Bella Festa played an amazing set at After Eight in Reykjavik last year. Giita’s friends took over the night when she moved back to Dublin, the night is still thriving and has now been moved to a bigger venue.

After Eight is inspired by Annie Mac’s early club nights and 12 Sundays an early club night Giita used to go to in the old Bernard Shaw in Portobello where the djs from Ireland and abroad would play until midnight. You could dance your socks off, continue partying or go home to bed early. Running After Eight inspired Giita to learn how to DJ. Her music tastes range from synth pop, electro, obscure bangers, italo disco, house and banging techno. She is a sucker for a cheesy keyboard and a dirty bass.

PRIDE and PROTEST – BRÓD agus AGÓID – 50 years of LGBT Liberation in Ireland

As Ireland marks a half century of LGBT activism, Kilkenny Castle is delighted to host a talk by Tonie Walsh, founder of the Irish Queer Archives. The talk will trace the evolution of queer activism on the island of Ireland; from the formation of Belfast’s Gay Liberation Society (1972) and the hugely influential Sexual Liberation Movement (1973) at Dublin’s TCD to the establishment of community resources and mainstream advocacy groups across all our cities and large towns.

This is a potted history of the LGBT civil rights movement as it fights state-sponsored homophobia, cycles of violence, media and government censorship and conservative Christian values to advance visibility and Senator David Norris’ Constitutional Action; following decriminalisation, the advent of equality legislation throughout the 1990s, culminating in the Equal Status Act in 2000 and, fifteen years later, Marriage Equality and the Gender Recognition Act.

Irish LGBT liberation didn’t happen in a vacuum; important political and socio-cultural currents like the Northern Irish civil rights movement and the second wave of feminism, even membership of the EU, all impacted on the movement for change.

This event is free, seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Doors open 30 minutes before start of event.
