August 02, 2021 WORK OF THE WEEK 53 MEDITATING TONQUI STEPHEN DOYLE
Conor Tallon meets up with The Crawford's assistant curator Michael Waldron
to continue the Arts House's popular weekly series after a short absence!
But with friends meeting up again it's always like there was no absence!.

Coinciding with the opening of the gallery's NEW THREADS exhibition and Cork LGBT Pride Festival, they're taking a closer look at one of the latest additions to the collection.
Created in the aftermath of a residency in Shanghai, Meditating Tongqui (2020) by Stephen Doyle addresses pertinent issues facing the LGBTQ+ community globally. In making this work, the artist sought to highlight “the millions of ‘Tongqui/Tongfu’ currently living in China. The term refers to homosexuals married to opposite sex partners because of an obligation to continue the family name or simply to avoid suspicion of being homosexual or for any number of personal or political reasons.”
It presents a figure deep in thought, staring obliquely, and seated; balancing on a sphere, shoes kicked off below. Perhaps he is reflecting upon what might have been under different circumstances.
Actor and writer Stephen Fry has described Doyle’s work as being “part of a tragically necessary resistance movement,” particularly at a time when anti-LGBTQ+ laws continue to be enacted: “Gays are becoming bellwethers, early warning beacons, alerting us to humanity’s direction of travel.”
Stephen Doyle (b.1994) is a visual artist whose works addresses queer identity and queer culture. The artist’s Dylan Is Ainm Dom… (2018), which was shortlisted for the Zurich Portrait Prize 2018, is thought to be the first artwork in the national collection to openly address transgender identity. A graduate of Crawford College of Art & Design, he is based at Backwater Studios, Cork and is presently exhibiting work in Queer As You Are until 19 September at Luan Gallery, Athlone. He is currently Cork Pride Festival Artist-in-Residence.
Meditating Tongqui (2020) by Stephen Doyle is featured in NEW THREADS: Acquisitions 2021 in the Gibson Galleries (Floor 1) until 5 September. It is also among the nine works on their new LGBTQ+ Gallery Trail, a self-directed activity to follow on your visit!

So many people in Cork haven't heard of Anne Bonny, Ireland's real-life Pirate of the Caribbean. This year, a public mural about her has regenerated interest in her gripping story. Barry Moloney has been taking people on a Historic Stroll around Kinsale for over 15 years and, in Lockdown, was inspired to share some of his most repeated stories, tales and fascinating facts about his beloved town by writing a book. One of the central characters is of course Anne Bonny, but she is just one of a host revealed and explored as Barry shares his years of experience. This is a must-read for anyone who visits Kinsale, and an accessible way to delve into its fascinating history. Elmarie Mawe met Barry to talk about the book, and they stood in the grounds of St Multose Cathedral.
