Join us for a special artist-in-conversation event with Patryk Gizicki, recipient of the Taylor Wessing Irish Photo Bursary 2026.

Gizicki’s series Stay Forever More centres on his Irish hometown of Castlebar, Co. Mayo. It offers a vivid and intimate exploration of youth culture, identity and masculinity in contemporary Ireland. Drawing on his Polish heritage and Irish upbringing, his work moves between documentary and staged imagery to capture moments of vulnerability and youthful self-expression, tracing how belonging is shaped across friendship groups, subcultures and shared spaces.

In conversation with Trish Lambe and Darren Campion from Photo Museum Ireland, Gizicki will explore the ideas, influences and processes behind the work, offering audiences a closer connection to an important emerging practice that is both deeply personal and socially resonant.
