Photo courtesy Hugh Lane Gallery  Hugh Lane Gallery and Create commission 2022 – 2024 Hugh Lane Gallery and Create came together in 2022 with a new commission inviting submissions from artists from a minority ethnic background and/or who have lived experience of displacement and/or are shaped by histories of intergenerational migration. Filmmaker Jijo Sebastian was awarded the commission for his proposal to foster transcultural understanding, community building and the exploration of the complexities of migrant identities through a collaborative filmmaking process. Jijo conceived and facilitated Salmagundi: The Project in April 2023, alongside residents of Dublin’s North Inner City. Under the name Salmagundi, a diverse group of individuals, many without prior experience in filmmaking, came together through an open call to develop, write and perform a feature-length film. Comprising six interwoven stories, the film reflects themes and issues central to the participants’ lived experience, celebrating a collective voice that underscores the power of community across cultures. The collaborative film and a process room was officially launched in the Hugh Lane Gallery by Deputy Lord Mayor of Dublin Cllr Donna Cooney on 2 November 2024 and is view until 5 January 2025. The collaborative Salmagundi film is accompanied by a process room that documents the group’s journey through the highs and lows of making collaborative art and the challenges of trying to build an authentically transcultural community.
