Join us on Friday, 4 December for First Fridays! The museum will be open late from 6pm until 9pm, with free admission and special events throughout the evening.

6.00pm-9.00pm | Exhibition
Oh Mother I Called for You
Visit MoLI’s newest exhibition, a deeply personal installation by fashion designer, writer and artist Joanne Hynes, exploring loss, grief and remembering through writing, textiles and treasured objects.

N.B. This exhibition explores experiences of stillbirth, loss and grief. If you feel you need support, please reach out to Féileacáin.

6.30pm | Discussion
Mollie Douthit
Mollie Douthit creates small-scale paintings inspired by everyday life, memory, objects and colour. She discusses her artistic practice and the influence of literature on her approach to painting.

Originally from North Dakota, Douthit has lived and worked for many years in Ireland, and is now based in Malmö, Sweden. Douthit is a small-scale oil painter of daily life and has a particular fascination with objects and colour.

8pm | Music
Rory Tangney
Multi-disciplinary artist Rory Tangney presents a set of songs nestled in a textured bed of noise, found sounds and improvised vocal loops.


Please note that events throughout the evening operate on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the listed start time to guarantee entry, as event spaces have limited capacity.

First Fridays is presented with the support of PwC and the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
