The image Confluence (75X145cm) is the centre of the exhibition. It describes the underwater world where the river becomes tidal at Islandbridge - where the freshwater plants merge with the algaes, where sweet water meets the brine

Lifeforce, an exhibition by artist Kathrine Geoghegan, opens on 8th May 2025 at the United Arts Club in Dublin. The exhibition showcases the journey of the River Liffey from its source in the Wicklow uplands to Dublin Bay.

Geoghegan’s work highlights various habitats along the river's 130-kilometre course. Visitors will see depictions of peatlands, wildflower meadows, and tidal influences. The exhibition aims to celebrate the ecological significance of the Liffey.

The opening reception will feature guest speaker Eanna ni Lamhna. Ni Lamhna, a biologist and broadcaster, is known for her work on biodiversity. She was recently awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Galway.

The exhibition runs until 1st June 2025. Admission is free. For more information, visit the United Arts Club’s website or contact [email protected] directly.
