In Our Eyes

‘In Our Eyes’ is a photographic exhibition showcasing the perspectives of adult members of new communities in Galway, particularly those under Temporary Protection or in the asylum process. Through their lenses, we will see both their personal experiences and observations of life in their new home city.  This project is currently being developed with participants attending workshops and out and about creating their vision of Galway.

Project Structure

📸 Photography & Editing Training

Participants will receive hands-on training in photography and photo editing, learning techniques applicable to smartphones and digital cameras.

🌍 City Documentation

Over the course of a month, participants will capture their experiences and document their surroundings, offering a unique insight into life in Galway through their eyes.

🏛️ Public Exhibition

A curated selection of photographs will be exhibited in a City Centre venue, sharing their stories and perspectives with the wider community.

Why This Matters

By empowering new community members with creative skills and a platform for expression, ‘In Our Eyes’ fosters visibility, understanding, and connection between cultures, enriching Galway’s social and artistic landscape.

This project is supported by Galway City Council and Creative Ireland through the Creative Communities Fund
