'What Matters Most' Exhibition Catalogue 2026

Every year, first-year Occupational Therapy students have the chance to engage in printmaking as part of the OT1005 module, designed and led by Dr. Eithne Hunt and Sinead Moynihan in collaboration with Cork Printmakers.

There is a long history of the use of art, craft and creative activities in Occupational Therapy, dating back to the foundation of the profession in 1917 with an understanding of the power of occupation and the harnessing of people’s creative energy.

Students participate in two-hour printmaking sessions each week for six weeks and their work is exhibited in the Jennings Gallery.

Each year, a specific theme is chosen for the students to explore through their creative activities. This exhibition hosts prints created by UCC first year (2024-2025) Occupational Therapy Students and explores ‘What Matters Most’ to this cohort.

All are welcome.
