First Fortnight…and beyond

First Fortnight (2-16 January 2022) is Ireland’s Mental Health Arts & Culture Festival. We are excited to be a part of this year’s festival programme.

Artist Annie Mar uses visual journals to map the magic and mundanities of her daily life. In this video, Annie Mar takes us through the process of creating a visual journal entry.

A printable PDF zine with a step-by-step folding guide is available on this page to get you started on your own visual journal journey, helping you to explore your emotions this First Fortnight and beyond. There will also be some printed versions available to pick up on your next visit to the gallery and take home with you – while they last!
