Published Talk ‘Exhibiting for Multiple Senses’
On 13 December 2025, within the framework of the Dublin Art Book Fair (DABF) held at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios in Dublin (4–14 December 2025), the Publishing Talk titled Exhibiting for Multiple Senses took place. The event featured a discussion between Eva Fotiadi, author and editor, and Renata Pękowska, contributing author, on the publication Exhibiting for Multiple Senses: Art and Curating for Sensory-Diverse Bodies
.
The talk explored how artistic and curatorial research practices can emphasize the multisensory character of bodily encounters with artworks. The discussion reflected on shifts in exhibition-making and curatorial theory beyond the primacy of the visual, addressing a range of sensory experiences and their implications for curatorial and artistic practice.
