Book Launch: Dyke Affair Issue 02
Join us at 4pm on Saturday, 9th May to launch the second issue of Dyke Affair at The Library Project.
The evening will be a chance to celebrate the latest issue, as well as Issue 01, both of which are stocked at The Library Project. We'll have contributors from both issues reading their work, including poetry, essays, and fiction.
Dyke Affair, a tiny press by and for dykes everywhere, was formed in January 2025, at a time when far-right ideologies are gaining ground and queer people are increasingly targeted around the world. DIY queer publishing that's passed from hand to hand, friend to friend, and lover to lover, is more important than ever, as a tool of resistance and celebration of our lives and voices.
Dyke Affair's editors are based in Dublin, Paris, and Lisbon, though they publish work by dykes all over the world. So far, they have published two issues of Dyke Affair, as well as a poetry pamphlet, allowing them to donate funds to queer mutual aid (The Small Trans Library, Visual AIDS, individual transition funds on GoFundMe, etc).

PhotoIreland presents the 5th edition of New Irish Works in 2026, a triennial programme of activities launched in 2013 to support Irish photographers, bringing new works by 10 selected artists to local and international audiences at the International Centre for the Image
Under the name New Irish Works, PhotoIreland presents at the International Centre for the Image an exhibition of new works, many of which are being exhibited for the first time, by 10 outstanding artists: Austin Hearne, Billy Kenrick, Ciara Richardson, Debbie Castro, Dorje De Burgh, Emily O’Connell, Garry Loughlin, Kate Nolan, Mandy O’Neill, and Miriam O’Connor.
Launched in 2013, New Irish Works is a triennial project by PhotoIreland that represents and promotes the growing diversity of contemporary photographic practices in Ireland. It aims to enrich the Irish ecosystem with much-needed new voices and curatorial approaches, facilitate much-deserved opportunities, and invigorate the Irish photography scene.
New Irish Works is a unique artist support programme for Irish and Ireland-based artists at any stage of their careers, comprising public-facing activities such as the New Irish Works exhibition, as well as a growing range of behind-the-scenes professional development opportunities tailored to lens-based practitioners. Artists are selected by a jury composed of national and international experts representing a diversity of art fields and specialisations, and they benefit from the programme over the 3-year duration.
