At Muine Bheag Arts, historian, writer and contemporary art theorist, Barry Kehoe presents a psychogeographic meandering through the history of sport, medicine, media and graverobbing phenomena during the 1800s in Leinster. Daniel Donnelly, born March 1788, was a professional boxing pioneer and the first Irish-born heavyweight champion. 

Graverobbers were initially responsible for the mummified arm moving independently from its resting place at Bully’s Acre, Kilmainham, though after, the arm was displayed in the Hideout public house in Kilcullen, Co. Kildare, for four decades from 1953 and during the 2000s the arm was exhibited in New York, Boston, in Omagh, Co. Tyrone and Croke Park, Dublin. 

In August, tour de force returns to Muine Bheag Arts as part of COMMUNE with a special K7 dans la 4L broadcast from the Renault 4 in Belfast…

Muine Bheag Arts is an artist-run organisation based in a small town in County Carlow that engages with the local context to present projects in the public realm. Guided by values of collaboration and experimentation, Muine Bheag Arts invites dialogue between artists, audiences, community and place. The programme includes exhibitions, workshops, events, residencies, publishing and radio broadcasts. These platforms provide opportunities for artists to research, test and make through close collaboration with the organisation and members of the local community.
