Lá sa gClaí - A Bayanihan Project
(a day in the wall) @bayanihan___

Led by Áine Dunne, Brian Ó Curnáin, Davidhenry Oghenetejiri Uyovbisere, Daniel Fehily & Eduard Valenzuela.

On Saturday, the wall became a starting point for stories, questions, conversation and connection.

What can a wall become beyond a boundary?

The evening unfolded in three: Film, Forum, Feast.

_Film
We heard from the team behind Lá sa gclaí and revisited the making of the wall at EASA Seanchaí 2026 in Waterford - and the experiences, ideas and stories that shaped the project.

_Forum
The conversation opened up to different voices and perspectives on what a “wall” can mean - physically, socially, personally. With Celine Topsakal @celinetopsakal from Resolve Collective @resolvecollective, DJ, producer and barber Coili Collins @shampain____ , architect Mary Laheen, and Kate Hunter Hanley from EASA Seanchaí @easaseanchai - exploring walls not only as limiting physical structures, but as spaces shaped by curiosity, dreams and community, looking beyond the boundaries we are expected to stay within, questioning what’s already there, and imagining what could be different.

_Feast
And then, we gathered around the table for a Filipino feast - sharing food, stories and time together, with the simple act of eating becoming another way to connect, welcome and make space for one another.

Three parts, many voices, one evening of coming together.

Thank you to everyone who made Lá sa gClaí - A Bayanihan Project such a memorable part of #AATE26, and to everyone who joined us.

Lá sa gClaí continues at Festival Printworks Gallery until 27 September.

We begin with the wall.

Across Ireland, the most pervasive built artefact is not the house, tower or church, but the wall. Linear, repetitive and everywhere, it divides fields and houses, follows winding roads and marks the land.

“Lá sa gclaí” (a day in the wall) is an Irish saying that describes farmers taking shelter beside stone walls when Atlantic rain stopped the day’s work. While waiting for the weather to pass, stories were shared. The wall became more than a boundary; it became a place of shelter and exchange.

Inspired by this phrase, twenty participants at EASA Seanchai spent two weeks making a wall from earth, sharing stories, knowledge and experiences along the way. The wall became a framework for gathering, hosting a communal meal, film screening, storytelling and a night beneath the stars.

The work now comes to Printworks Gallery, Galway, as part of the Architecture At The Edge Festival, where the wall becomes a setting for conversation and exchange.

Join us for an evening of dinner, discussion and music with our brilliant guest speakers Coili Collins, Celine Topsakal, Mary Laheen and Kate Hunter Hanley.

Saturday 19th September · 6pm
Printworks Gallery, Galway

We’d love to see you there!

#AATE26 Exhibition + Talk & Film

What can a wall become beyond a boundary?

Built in Waterford during EASA 2026, a rammed earth wall brought twenty participants together to make, learn, share stories and gather. Now, its formwork and supporting elements are being reassembled at Festival Printworks Gallery, creating a new space for conversation and exchange.

_Exhibition
17–27 September
Festival Printworks Gallery, Market St.

_Talk & Film: ‘At the Table’
Saturday 19 September, 6–8pm

An evening of conversation, discussion and film exploring the social and spatial role of walls - from Irish field boundaries to contested borders, and from shared civic infrastructure to architectures of exclusion.

FREE entry — all are welcome; pre-booking is advised.

Supported by Grafton Architects, Tec7 & EASA Seanchaí.

Celine Topsakal ile Mimarlık, Hafıza ve Toprak Üzerine
@celinetopsakal Londra ve İstanbul arasında mekânın, sanatın ve toplumsal hafızanın sınırlarını yeniden çizen bir mimar. Mekânsal tasarımı sadece fiziksel bir yapı üretimi olarak değil, yaşayan sistemlerle kurulan çok boyutlu bir ilişki olarak ele alıyor.

🔺Aynı zamanda köklerine ve toprağa duyduğu bağlılığı sanatsal bir üretime dönüştüren bir vizyonun da taşıyıcısı. Kırsal ve kentsel dinamikleri buluşturma hedefiyle, Tekirdağ’daki aile arazisinde hayata geçirdiği disiplinlerarası sanat ve mimarlık projeleri geliştirdiği @studio.barbare ‘nin kurucusu.

🔺 Kolektif hafıza, mekânsal adalet ve toplulukların dayanıklılığı üzerine odaklanarak, güncel mimarlık üretimlerine ve tasarım projelerine devam eden Celine ile tasarım ve sanatsal pratiklerini, kent ve kırsalını bir araya getiren üretim alanına dair bir söyleşi #İşDışı nda…

Celine Topsakal’ın kurucusu olduğu Barbare Studio’nun ikinci sergisi “Temas Bölgesi” T. Melis Golar küratörlüğünde 14 Haziran - 10 Eylül 2026 tarihleri arasında ziyarete açıldı. Barbare Bağları içinde konumlanan Barbare Studio’nun bünyesinde gerçekleşen rezidans, farklı disiplinden sanatçıların üretim mekânı olurken ortaya çıkan eserler “Temas Bölgesi” sergisiyle Barbare Bağları’nın dört bir yanına yayılıyor.

Bir üzüm bağı nasıl olur da sanatla yan yana gelebilir?..

Küratör T. Melis Golar’ın yürütücülüğünde gerçekleşen Barbare Studio’nun rezidans programının ikinci sergisi “Temas Bölgesi” farklı malzemelerden üretimler gerçekleştiren, multidisipliner A. Serkan Aka, Action Pyramid, Ayça Ay, Egle Oddo, Elmas Deniz, Ezgi Kılınçaslan, Fırat Engin, İrem Apak, Kıymet Daştan, Orkan Telhan, Pınar Marul, Rozelin Akgün, Sinem Dişli, Tabita Rezaire ve Yasemin Özcan’ı bir araya getiriyor. Barbare Bağları içinde konumlanan Barbare Studio, bu sanatçıların üretim alanına dönüşürken üzüm bağları da ziyaretçiler için yeni bir deneyim alanı sunuyor.

Ziyaretçiler, üzüm bağları arasına gizlenmiş ses yerleştirmelerinden heykele, land art’tan depoda sergilenen video işlere kadar sanatçıların rezidans süresince ürettiği eserleri geniş bağ arazisini sağdan sola, yukarıdan aşağıya kadar gezerek keşfedebilir. (Spor ayakkabı, şapka ve bir içeceğin eşlik etmesi önerilir.)

Basın davetlisi olarak katıldığım gezi sırasında, aklımda oluşan soruları, Barbare Studio Kurucusu Celine Topsakal ve Barbare Studio Rezidans Küratörü T. Melis Golar ile paylaştım. Serinin üçüncü ayağını, serginin odak noktasını, yer alan işleri, üzüm ile sanat ilişkisini, yeni deneyimleri, süreci ve Barbare Studio’nun gelecek projelerine dair detaylı bir söyleşi gerçekleşti.

My new work, “Bağyüzü Sofrası” (The Vineyard Table), created for the exhibition “Contact Zone” at Barbare Vineyards, will be on view in Tekirdağ until 10 September.

As an artist who sees every invitation as an opportunity to create a new work—and who can never settle into a place too quickly—I wanted to visit the vineyard several times before beginning.

With each visit, my awareness of living alongside countless beings, both familiar and yet to be encountered, grew stronger.

Without hesitation, I imagined the work beneath the romantic hackberry trees overlooking the valley.

Could slowing down beneath their shade, in the sunlit landscape, become a way of resting and reflecting on coexistence?

Inspired by the delicate roses planted at the beginning of the vine rows, whose vulnerability makes disease visible, I wondered whether it might be possible to make all forms of life within the boundaries of Barbare Vineyards visible together.

From this perspective emerged a table whose ceramic tiles carry an alphabetically arranged list.

With its attached bench, the table nods to educational systems, school desks, learning cards, and the game Name, City, Plant, Animal.

Across this shared surface, vineyard workers, grape varieties, hotel staff, birds, trees, plants, and other living beings appear side by side. The cups placed on the table bear inscriptions such as:

ahmet, merlot, mole

deniz, chardonnay, ladybug

yasemin, pinot noir, rosemary

mehmet, bornova misketi, lavender

inviting visitors to share a glass of water at the same table.

🍇

My sincere thanks to curator Melis Golar and founding director Celine Topsakal for inviting me to be part of “Contact Zone”, where the works of fourteen wonderful artists come together.

My deepest gratitude also goes to our wonderful team—Leyla Bayrı, Umut Ballıkaya, and Derin Bulat—who worked tirelessly, perhaps even in their sleep.

Special thanks to the Kale Seramik family and to dear Esra Yazıcı Tözge for their generous support in the ceramic production.
