Isadora Epstein brings her singularly unconventional approach to this exhibition of new work commissioned by Mermaid Arts Centre, drawing on the mythology and history of the voyage of St Brendan from Ireland to North America.

The exhibition will turn the gallery into a fictional travel agency, bringing together paintings by Kathy Tynan, a set/installation by Stéphane Béna Hanly, costumes by Amie Egan and design by Stina Sanström. Taking inspiration from the immrama, stories of Irish Sea journeys to the other world, the show opens with a performance hosted by Isadora Epstein with musicians Méabh McKennaSeamas Hyland, and artist Stéphane Béna Hanly.
