Description:

For its 7th annual Culture Night exhibition, ÍOVA Photography Collective presents Human Touch, a celebration of the creativity, care and connection that define the human experience.

Founded in 2018 through conversations at John Gunn Camera Shop, ÍOVA has grown into a vibrant community of photographers, artists and analogue enthusiasts who believe in the value of learning, making and sharing together.

In a time when so much of our lives is mediated by technology, Human Touch reflects on the importance of physical presence, craftsmanship and genuine human connection. The exhibition invites audiences to slow down and consider the moments that shape our lives through touch, memory, observation and shared experience.

From the warmth of sunlight on skin and the smell of rain on dry ground to the comfort of a hug, a helping hand or a reassuring smile, the works explore the everyday experiences that cannot be replicated or replaced.

Bringing together artists working across photography and lens-based practices, Human Touch celebrates imagination, community and the enduring importance of people creating with and for one another.

Don seachtú taispeántas bliantúil dá gcuid do Oíche an Chultúir, cuireann Comharchumann Grianghrafadóireachta ÍOVA Human Touch i láthair – ceiliúradh ar an gcruthaitheacht, ar an gcúram agus ar an nasc a shainíonn an taithí dhaonna.

Agus é bunaithe in 2018 de bharr comhráite ag Siopa Ceamaraí John Gunn, tá ÍOVA tar éis fás ina phobal bríomhar grianghrafadóirí, ealaíontóirí agus díograiseoirí na grianghrafadóireachta analóige a chreideann i luach na foghlama, na cruthaitheachta agus na comhroinnte le chéile.

Agus an oiread sin dár saol á stiúradh ag an teicneolaíocht sa lá atá inniu ann, tugann Human Touch cuireadh dúinn machnamh a dhéanamh ar thábhacht na láithreachta fisiciúla, na ceirde agus an naisc dhaonna dhílis. Spreagann an taispeántas an lucht féachana chun moill a chur ar an luas agus machnamh a dhéanamh ar na chuimhneacháin a mhúnlaíonn ár saol trí thadhaill, trí chuimhní cinn, trí bhreathnóireacht agus trí eispéiris chomhroinnte.

Ó theas na gréine ar an gcraiceann agus boladh na báistí ar an talamh tirim go dtí an sólás a bhaineann le barróg, le lámh chúnta nó le gáire misniúil, déanann na saothair iniúchadh ar eispéiris an lae a bhfuil sé dodhéanta iad a mhacasamhlú nó a chur ina n-ionad.

Ag tabhairt ealaíontóirí le chéile a oibríonn i réimse na grianghrafadóireachta agus na gcleachtas lionsa-bhunaithe, déanann Human Touch ceiliúradh ar an samhlaíocht, ar an bpobal agus ar an tábhacht bhuan a bhaineann le daoine a bheith ag cruthú le chéile agus ar son a chéile.
