It’s almost time for Culture Night 2026 this Friday at the RHA; we’ll have plenty to see inside but do join us outside for two incredible vertical dance performances (6pm & 8.30pm) on the RHA building itself! Full details ➡️ rhagallery.ie/events/famil... #CultureNightDublin2026 #CultureNight2026

A poster advertising Culture Night 2026 at the RHA. It features a photograph of an Aerial Cirque dancer in mid-flight off a building.

HELD is a poetic vertical dance performance from Aerial Cirque exploring vulnerability, resilience and the experience of finding strength within ourselves. Suspended between earth and sky, a lone dancer moves across the RHA’s architecture, navigating moments of fragility, surrender and strength. Blending aerial movement with contemporary dance, HELD explores what it means to feel supported and what happens when we must learn to hold ourselves.

Transforming the building itself into a vertical stage, HELD invites audiences to experience the familiar architecture of the RHA from an entirely new perspective.

The 196th RHA Annual Exhibition in association with McCann FitzGerald may be over but the Sunday Independent’s Niall MacMonagle is continuing to write about art that caught his eye this year. Read the interview with Emma Stroule (extract in alt text) in the Sunday Independent at independent.ie (€).

‘Enough (After Rego), which exhibited at this year's RHA Annual Exhibition. is based on a 1995 pastel work by British-Portuguese artist Paula Rego called Two Women Being Stoned. "In Rego's piece, two women crouch submissivelv with arms outstretched. One woman is bent double, her right hand protects her head. Another woman crouches submissivelv and looks towards their aggressor. It is a surrender, but the woman does not appear weak.

‘The Rego painting has been described as a universal picture of violence against women. Rego's work prompted Stroude to question "how far we (all genders) have come and how far we still have to go", She decided "to extend the pose to three figures, two protecting themselves and one appealing to the aggressor Unlike Rego's work, the two sheltering figures make direct eye contact with the viewer. to engage them in the situation and ask for their reflection."’
