Thursday Lates: TULCA Education Tour: Dogs, Memory, and Myth
In this guided tour led by Aoife Natsumi Frehan, Education Coordinator for TULCA, we explore two works that each centre on human relationships with dogs, but in very different ways.
Artist Tom O'Dea’s Dog Liberation Organisation constructs a fictional radical archive questioning power, obedience, and control through the lens of human–animal relations. Meanwhile, Mourad Ben Amor’s film Bamssi weaves a tender portrait of displacement and longing, where dogs appear as quiet, loyal companions in a Tunisian domestic landscape.
This session is informal and discussion-led, a space to pause with moving image works, reflect together, and engage more deeply with the ideas they raise.
Free, no booking required.
