Private View: Greetings from Ireland by Robyn Lynch
18:00-22:00
Join us for the launch of NOW Gallery’s 2023 Fashion Commission, ‘Greetings From Ireland’ by Robyn Lynch. Housed entirely in a huge bouncy castle-esque inflatable structure within the curved glass walls of NOW Gallery, ‘Greetings From Ireland’ will explore in three parts the ethos and language of the brand. Themes of nostalgia, Irish heritage and family are seen with a focus on primary research, construction, and community.
