URGENCIES (2025)

Launch: Saturday 18 January 2025, 7–9pm
Exhibition runs until 15 March 2025.

URGENCIES (2025) is CCA's biennial group exhibition selected through open call. The artists represent a snapshot of some of the concerns and interests held today by early-career artists connected to our region. Working across a wide range of media, the topics covered include ecological breakdown, mental health, toxic masculinity, conflict, privilege, power, preservation and healthcare. Many of the works have been inspired by personal experience and specific issues but speak to wider national and global contexts such as medication shortages, violent attacks on identity, library closures, flooding, and the toxic blooms of Lough Neagh.

The project will launch on Saturday 18 January 2025 at 7pm and will take place in CCA’s galleries and offsite. The exhibition will run until 15 March 2025.

This page will be updated with full listings of offsite work and further information about the artists and artworks.

URGENCIES (2025) is supported by the National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Derry City & Strabane District Council.
