‘Dignity is a Strong Body’

Dagmar Drabent presents a solo show of new photographic work with text, ‘Dignity is a Strong Body’ at NUI Galway – October 3 to November 30.
‘Dignity is a Strong Body’ will be launched on Wednesday, October 3 in
Áras na Mac Léinn, NUI Galway at 5pm by Lorraine McIlrath, Director of CKI
(Community Knowledge Initiative) at NUI Galway. The exhibition will run daily
from 8.00am to 10.00pm, until November 30.
Refreshments served, free entry and all are welcome. All works, produced on aluminium, will be for
sale.
Drabent’s aim is to celebrate some of her remarkable friends who are
considered to be ‘ageing’; dealing with illness or simply life’s challenges. She has photographed flowers just post-maturing
and designated an image to a friend with text, celebrating the person. All of these friends are growing older,
indeed, one is no longer alive.
Dagmar wants to draw attention to understanding and accepting, not just with regard to the individuals themselves, but also to those aspects of life that are so often ignored. The images are not just representations of, but dedications to friends who have been chosen to be symbolic for the strength and spirit of all individuals, who may be marked by life and yet are unconditionally beautiful.
Born in Hambury, Germany Drabent is an artist and Ph.D student at NUI
Galway. The exhibition is presented by
NUI Galway’s Arts & Theatre Office.
