Ain’t nothin’ gonna stop these youngsters from Stopping crime and having a good time!!!

Gifted with supernatural abilities from a meteor shower from the stars above, five disparate college students who share the same hometown from the U.S Midwest must band together to defend their slice of premillennial Americana (along with the entire cosmos from alien threats but that’s a tangent, I’m “tangenting”!) Ok, listen up.! The recently formed new generation of superheroes are Maria- the loyal goody two shoes, Beatrice- a burst of joys and blissful sunshine, Peter- the unintentional ladies’ man, Jason- the chiller than chill tech wiz, Samuel- the apprehensive and temperamental mentor, and Adam- the shy cynic.

Today we focus on how Adam deals with a horrendous off-planet infected bite from a baddie, and how the team rallies behind their teammate. Revolving around the necessity of friendship and camaraderie in tough times. Mainly aimed towards individuals who are entering adulthood and fear the notion of opening up to others for support and connection, as well as the fear of becoming a burden or embarrassment.

Welcome

We formally welcome you to ‘FLUX’, the Limerick School of Art & Design Graduate Show of 2018 featuring the work of final year LSAD Graduates from Painting, Photography Film Video, Print Contemporary Practice, Sculpture & Combined Media, Ceramic Design, Fashion Design, Fashion Knit & Textiles and Graphic Design Communication.

The journey of a graduate of Limerick School of Art and Design is a deep experience of the self and ideas. An immersive collective engagement where individuality and creativity are celebrated. The strength of Art School is that all students in their multiplicity and experiences can join this collective journey of exploration across the various fine art and design disciplines. The graduate show is a wonderful moment for presentation of this journey and celebration.

The importance of having this safe space of discovery is as important to the recent school leaver as to the mature student who has found the means and the moment to return to study and pursue a dream that has been harboured for many years.

For LSAD students, Limerick city and its growing cultural confidence becomes part of this engagement. This year we welcome the beginning of a new creative industry here in Limerick, with the opening of Troy Studios, the largest film studios in Ireland. We hear of the many LSAD graduates who have been immersed in the first ongoing production ‘Nightflyers’ and the vast array of creative skills and inputs that are required and the possibilities that are opening up in the region. Many of our graduates will seek new challenges elsewhere, however we also hope that many stay or return to this region so that their enterprise and creativity will further impact and enrich our environment.
