LORE: Mexican & Irish Folklore

This event has ended

Embassy of Mexico in Ireland, Friday 16th October - Friday 30th October

Minaw Collective presents LORE, a group exhibition exploring Irish and Mexican folklore through contemporary visual art, hosted by the Embassy of Mexico in Ireland from 17th to 30th October 2026.

Bringing together new work by members of the Ireland-based collective, LORE draws on folklore, mythology, symbolism and storytelling, looking at the ways inherited stories continue to live through retelling and reinterpretation. Across distinct artistic practices, the exhibition considers how folklore carries ideas of place, memory, nature, belief and belonging. The exhibition creates a meeting point between two cultures where folklore and storytelling have long held cultural significance, exploring both their distinctive traditions and the connections that can emerge between them.

The exhibition also reflects Minaw Collective's own evolving story. Rooted in Ireland's street-art, graffiti and mural community, Minaw has grown over more than a decade into a collective whose members work across public art, illustration, painting and wider studio practice. LORE brings those individual voices together around a shared subject while allowing each artist to approach folklore from their own perspective.

From there, they dance in search
