The festival of Curiosity – what to expect and why you should go this July 2018
At The Alex Hotel Dublin we love what’s off the bidden track and The Festival of Curiosity is the perfect example of unique and intriguing festivals that Dublin can offers. Imagine cutting-edge art and science meeting for a weekend and invite you to look at the world differently. This is what the festival is all about, experiencing and discovering through interactive exhibitions and performances.
Every year, there are about 45,00 people visiting the various venue across the city centre. The event program is packed with art and science activities, innovative technology and cultural performances.
The new 2018 program is not released yet at the time we are writing but you can check out this page. Meanwhile, here is what kind of events to expect:
Futurist fashion
Last year, 6 Irish fashion designers were chosen to work with a team of mentors from Ireland, the UK and Canada to design creative cutting-edge dresses an outfit for a unique show.

Interactive Art
They take the word interactive art literally which means you are invited to participate in the creation like with this colouring room last year at Temple Bar Gallery.
