Homeland: The Warrior

Homeland is an annual video project born in the Irish Midlands and driven by Damer House Gallery. It supports a growing community of artists and filmmakers and creates a space where artist cinema can reach a discerning audience. Every year it premieres at Damer House Gallery and then travels to Barcelona in collaboration with the Loop Festival.

Homeland 2026 “The Warrior” is dedicated to Patricia Hurl, co-founder of the gallery. Its theme takes up the figure of the warrior from her series of self-portraits: an image of women who protect themselves, defiant and strong, a symbol of female empowerment. This year’s edition brings together Irish artists and artists selected in Barcelona. Two guest artists, one Irish and one international, present works on single screen, while the rest of the videos are projected in a loop.
