Lectures, exhibitions & events.
Frequently we present our vision on the interweaving of art, literature, research and nature preservation. We initiate exhibitions, lectures, workshops, concerts and guided tours around Knockvologan. Throughout the year we lecture at Art Academies, Universities and perform at various other institutes and festivals. If you are interested in inviting us for a lecture, a brainstorm, a workshop or you wish to discuss the possibilities, then feel free to contact us.
