The Project Groundswell exhibition opens at Photo Museum Ireland on 21 February 2026, bringing together the Showcase Award Winners’ projects developed as short audiovisual works. First premiered at Imago Lisboa, the showcase now forms part of the wider touring exhibition and digital programme, presented across partner venues and online.

Our thanks to the 480 artists who responded to the open call. The depth, urgency and imagination of the submissions made this an exceptionally strong field, and we’re grateful to everyone who shared their work.
