Curated by pioneering performance and visual artist Franko B, How to Say it the Way it is! marks the first exhibition of selected works from the a/political collection, opening at Rua Red Gallery, South Dublin from the 7 October – 2 December 2017. The exhibition initiates the forthcoming programme of Rua Red’s new Director Maolíosa Boyle and the year long partnership with a/political.

At a time when history is eating itself, bloated off war and genocide, we look towards its nuclear death. How to Say it the Way it is! provides an alternative narrative to the current political status quo - one of timeless definace, resistence and disorder - from some of the most influential socially and politically engaged contemporary artists.
