41st EVA International

The 41st EVA International featured a “Guest Programme” curated by Eszter Szakács in collaboration with the EVA team, including a number of new commissions and presentations by Irish and international artists. Titled It Takes a Village, the programme borrowed from the proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” to focus on ideas of collaborative partnership, social justice and historical repair. 

Presented across diverse venues in Limerick city, and through a number of local and international partnerships – from fishmongers, to community networks, to other biennial organisations – the 41st EVA International invited thinking, from many different perspectives, about the ways in which we might contribute to a more shared and equitable future.

A 128-page printed programme guided visitors through the biennial, combining key exhibition information, maps, event listings, and archival material. A comprehensive social media strategy showcased individual artists, presentations, and events, while the website was reskinned using the core identity colours as a lightweight and economical marker of the new edition.
