Linen Biennale

Northern Ireland 2023

A celebration of linen, past, present, and future

The Linen Biennale Northern Ireland returned in August 2023.

The year’s themes, Renew & Revive, consciously overlaped and interwove, as we continued to understand and appreciate the legacy of flax and linen, and explore its value now and in the future.

The Linen Biennale Northern Ireland is an initiative of R-Space Gallery.

What is the
Linen Biennale?

The Linen Biennale is a cultural festival that stimulates new thinking about one of Ireland’s oldest textiles, linen.
