Beyond the Frame, Cork Prison (2024 - present)
Beyond the Frame is an ongoing collaboration between Crawford Art Gallery and Cork Prison. Since November 2024, historian-curator Matt Ryan and artist-educator Daniel Sexton have worked with a group of students in the prison, using the gallery’s collection to stimulate discussion, debate, and creativity.
