About this event
The word mirror traces its roots from the Latin mirari, to admire. In Spanish, mira means “look.” But what happens if a mirror shows nothing? In gothic lore, the vampire is denied reflection, cursed with blindness to itself. MIRA is an exhibition of young Irish artists working across film, painting, drawing, and stitched media. Together they explore gothic horror’s legacy, with Bram Stoker's Dracula as a touchstone. Step into a world where self-image, darkness, and the uncanny collide.
Ages 16+
Opening Night: 28 Oct, 5.30pm – 9pm | Exhibition Hours: 29 Oct–1 Nov, 1pm – 6pm.
