More on the Great Oven and the project.

Since its inception in 2019, The Great Oven has been forging giant, beautifully decorated, community ovens – installing them in refugee camps, conflict zones and informal settlements across Lebanon and South Africa.

This year, their mission is to expand to the West Bank whilst creating a cultural bridge between Palestine and a homebase in Ireland. Artists from both countries have been collaborating all year to construct two Great Ovens that will be decorated at IMMA, Irish Museum of Modern Art and unveiled at All Together Now 2025.

Bringing the disco is Palestinian radio station turned global cultural phenomenon, Radio Alhara. The entire experience will be captured and amplified by Mixmag, the world’s largest and longest running electronic music platform. The Disco Cantina’s dancefloor will host Ireland’s first ever Mixmag Lab, which will be streamed globally.

When the festival lights go out, the voyage of these Great Ovens begin. One will make its way to Palestine where it will be housed at the Wonder Cabinet, a creative hub in the West Bank. The other will be established at Bohemian Football Club to support families at risk of food insecurity and promote community cohesion. These twinned ovens will create a cultural bridge between Ireland and Palestine where recipes, art, music and solidarity will be shared for generations to come.
