Confluence
Strule Arts Centre, Omagh
2nd-25th October 2025

‘Confluence’ features new work by the Shore Collective. The exhibition theme pivots around an intersectional narrative focusing on social and ecological concerns. ‘Confluence’ traces how the River Strule influences Omagh and how humans have affected the waters essence, flow and course. These environmental, cultural, and creative themes narrate the river’s meeting point with the rivers Camowen and Drumragh. The exhibition views how the three rivers move to enhance local identity and are crucial arteries for wildlife. The range of visual techniques explores conversation of the river and the local people; how they join, meet, converge and flow together..
