Free, all LGBTQ+ community welcome, no booking required
Salt and Pepper, Uillinn’s creative collective for older LGBTQ+, invite the wider rainbow community to an evening of ‘Grá’.
Called, Salt and Pepper for older people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Trans or a sprinkle of all those terms and shake of others. Artist Toma McCullim who will lead the project explains, ’Salt and Pepper because we are at the time of life when our hair is starting to speckle but we are also the essential spice of life!
From February through to May, regular Salt & Pepper sessions have taken place at Uillinn, and in Cork, with members of the collective collaboratively curating a new body of work from the Crawford Gallery Collection, celebrating LGBTQ+ community and culture.
Facilitated by artist Toma McCullim the collective will be inviting all ages to join them in an evening of ideas, plans, and dreams for their 2025 exhibition at Uillinn. As Toma describes, ‘we will be sharing some of the ways we have engaged with the collection throughout our curation project. We hope we will be inspiring all colours of the rainbow spectrum to a vibrant older age.’
