Stephanie Nava will give a talk on her work at 2pm this Thursday 12 March at Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. The artist will discuss her project, Considering a Plot (Dig for Victory), an installation based on the history of allotment gardens and government programs encouraging citizens to grow their own food during World War II. An extract of the work, called Garden Cities or Urban Farming? The Crises Bureau, is currently on view in the exhibition, Phoenix Rising: Art and Civic Imagination, which continues at The Hugh Lane until 29 March 2015.
The talk is free and no booking is required, although early arrival is recommended as places are limited.
With the support of the French Embassy in Ireland.
