We are delighted to announce the Phase 3 programme of the 39th EVA International which features over 19 presentations by Irish and international artists and collaborating curators, across four venues in Limerick and online. Taking its reference from the “Golden Vein,” a 19th-century descriptor for the agricultural bounty of the Limerick region, the 39th EVA International programme seeks to address ideas of land and its contested values in the context of Ireland today.
