Border Biennale 2025 comes to Townhall Cavan

The second edition of the Border Biennale at Townhall Arts Centre Cavan, co-curated by internationally renowned artist Rita Duffy and Townhall Artist Liaison, Joe Keenan, officially opens at 3pm on Saturday, 19th July.

Border-Biennale

This powerful exhibition brings together national and international artists to explore the absurdities and realities of borders; political, cultural, and psychological.

With works addressing themes from migration and identity to climate and conflict, the Biennale continues to grow in ambition and impact.

This year’s exhibition features powerful and thought-provoking work by:

  • Miriam de Búrca (Berlin-born, Ireland-based)
  • Pascal Ungerer (Cork)
  • Sally O’Dowd (Breffni-born, Belfast-based)
  • Rita Duffy (Belfast-born, Ballyconnell-based)

As Duffy notes in The Anglo-Celt recently, “Borders seem to be very last century thinking,” and this exhibition invites audiences to reimagine the border not as a line of division, but as a space of shared creativity and critical reflection.
