Artist-Initiated Projects 2026
Date: Wed 21 Jan – Sat 12 Dec
Location: Pallas Projects/Studios, Dublin


First created over two days in September 2023, The Waking Walls was a caoineadh reverberating over the rippling waters of the Cavan lakelands, lamenting the ecological losses the Crannóg and its castle have witnessed over their lifetime.
Now reimagined as an immersive video installation, this collaborative artwork brings you back to the water, to the grief, to the bellowing keen of the crannóg.
The Waking Walls is a collaborative artwork by AlanJames Burns, with Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, Anne Marie Hynes, Andrew Lynch, Trevor Whelan, Ben Glover, NYAH, Karina Lynch, Martin Donohoe, Jenny O’Hare, Laura O’Keeffe and Gearoid O’Hallmhurain.
