Nap club invites you to come and rest with us. As part of Being Horizontal, Áine O'Hara is holding a nap club in the gallery space. Join us for a day of strategising, community, and naps! I know you're tired, I am too. This is a place for the chronically ill, disabled, and anyone who wants to hang with us to connect, strategise and recharge. This is a closed event and will be limited to 6 participants. Time and space to relax, chat and meet is an integral part of the event and is resistance in itself. A space for us to dream.

Masks will be required and there will be a HEPA filter in the gallery for the whole event. You are invited to bring your own sleeping bag, mat, blow-up mattress, favourite blanket but we can also provide bedding if needed.

A more detailed schedule of the day will be sent to participants before the event.

Project Arts Centre is proudly supported by The Arts Council and Dublin City Council.

Áine O’Hara is an award-winning visual artist and facilitator focused on creating exciting and vulnerable work for and about people who are often left out of traditional art and performance spaces.

Áine identifies as queer, disabled and working class and believes strongly in situating life experiences within artworks. Áine wants to create work that uplifts and supports disabled and chronically ill artists and audiences.

Áine’s work has toured nationally and internationally and they have shown work across the U.K and Europe. In 2020 they were the recipient of A4 Sounds ‘We Only Want the Earth Project’ award which culminated in a solo show ‘The Patient will see you now’ at the gallery in December 2020. Áine won the Next Generation Award from the Arts Council in 2022 and recently received the Radical Spirit Fringe Festival Award for “The Rest Rooms” a programme and space that celebrated disabled joy and rest as resistance.

Masks will be required and there will be a HEPA filter in the gallery for the whole event. You are invited to bring your own sleeping bag, mat, blow-up mattress, favourite blanket but we can also provide bedding if needed.
