DID IT!
DID IT! is a celebration of creativity, confidence and completion. To mark the end of the first year of their four year degree course in photography at DIT, the exhibition provides a platform via which young emerging talent can display their work.
This is the first time these first-years will have had the opportunity to display their art to the general public - a privilege normally reserved for third year and final students. DID IT! helps fresh talent find a voice and creates new-found confidence.
The artists’ theme is ‘Space’. Though the theme can be interpreted in a myriad of ways - workspaces, spaces for living, vacant space, null space - the space must be physical and not conceptual.
DID IT! will allow each photographer to give individual and unique expression to an overarching concept, and will bring this newly-created work to a new audience for the first time.
DID IT! brings together a group of first year students from DIT’s prestigious degree course in photography. Their creations have been facilited by PhotoIreland Festival and curated by Louise Marlborough, Director of PrettyvacanT Dublin.

Marlborough is an artist, photographer and most recently Director and Curator. Early in 2009 Marlborough returned home to Dublin after nearly 9 years abroad, to discover her hometown blighted by a vacant properties. She set up PrettyvacanT Dublin - an arts initiative that repurposes vacant spaces as temporary exhibition spaces for artists. So far PrettyvacanT has hosted a number of successful exhibitions at city centre locations.
