A decade after the Irish premiere of The Afronauts during PhotoIreland Festival, De Middel returns to Dublin with another premiere of her latest work. Journey to the Center presents the Central American migration route across Mexico as a heroic and daring journey, rather than a runaway.

Applications are now invited from fine art printers, illustrators, designers, photographers, and all visual artists and creatives to submit works produced since 2023, to be displayed and sold at the HALFTONE Print Fair.

Framed under the title Building the Museum from the Library: The book as an art object within Art collections, PhotoIreland has commissioned a series of essays by distinguished international contributors.

The commissioned essays will be published exclusively online in stages and subsequently compiled in a single volume, marking the culmination of the project.
Read first two texts by Markus Schaden and Russet Lederman and find out about the context of the commission online now.

Running 11am Friday 14 November 2025
At Centre Culturel Irlandais, 5, rue des Irlandais, 75005 Paris.
Save the date! This is a free event open to everyone, no need to book.
Critical Beans is a get-together organised in 2025 by PhotoIreland, where visitors can enjoy strong coffee and urgent conversations around contemporary art. International guests drive the focus of the morning session in rapid-fire propositions that are opened to the audience.
PhotoIreland will present the latest double release of OVER Journal: issue 4 and a special FUTURES edition.

Pre-orders are now open for OVER Journal issue 4 and a FUTURES special issue 5, launching and shipping from mid October.
OVER journal critically focuses on aspects often overlooked that affect the discipline, zooming out to observe the whole scene, to analyse what exactly is happening, what power relationships are at play. It is about preventing the repetition of obsolete and flawed structures, as much as highlighting the work of those who constructively are expanding what we still call Photography into new horizons. More than a portfolio magazine, it is a space for reflection on new practices and new ways of thinking.
