Martina Hynan PhD (Interdisciplinary Artist & Researcher)
Eileen Hutton PhD (Artist, Head of Art and Ecology at Burren College of Art)
Dr Tanja Narancic (Assistant Professor at School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science at University College Dublin)
Discovering Biomaterials in Art and Society invites curious minds to explore the fascinating world of biomaterials, where science meets imagination. In this dynamic and informal setting, two artists and researchers and a scientist explore from their unique perspectives how materials transcend traditional boundaries, and how plastic, the most controversial material, can be looked at.
During this panel talk our guests walk us through the bio-based materials that shape our daily lives and the latest advancements and sustainable practices, comparing these to artistic approaches to materials that – through evocative textures and forms – bring wonder, fascination and a novel view on ecology. Attendees were immersed in a thoughtful narrative that redefines the interconnectedness of sustainability, artistic practice and society, challenges perceptions, and redefines the relationship and meeting points between science and art.

Entangled Life, supported by Community Foundation Ireland, is a programme exploring the deep connections between climate, society, and the ecosystems where art and community intertwine. This initiative unravels heterogeneous climate and social topics, by understanding ecology as a complex web of relationships—between humans, the more-than-human world, and political and natural environments.
Entangled Life aims to provide space to facilitate a network of relationships, collaboration and engagement within the community. Over the course of 8 months the project will bring together community participants, artists and experts for a series of monthly panel talks, workshops and artistic interventions at Pallas Projects, culminating in an exhibition in December 2025.
Events take place Wednesdays, 6–8pm. Participants are welcome to attend some or all events
