Galway Traveller Movement / Nora Mongan
Madhuri Singh
Marking fifty years since punk emerged as a disruptive cultural force, TULCA 2026: Veruca Salt considers what it means to know who you are and know what you want. Curated by Sinéad Keogh, the festival approaches punk not as a fixed historical style, but as a living method rooted in DIY culture, collective action and self-determination.
At Galway City Museum, two commissions bring together identity, cultural memory, craft and representation. Galway Traveller Movement / Nora Mongan present a traditional beady pocket reflecting both Traveller heritage and changing opportunities for Traveller women, while Madhuri Singh presents a commissioned portrait in graphite.
