Cut From The Same Cloth is a unique exhibition that merges art, science, and community, created by Lorna Donlon, on display at the Hunt Museum from April 17 to May 29, 2025.
This handwoven tapestry, created by artist Donlon, tells the stories of local minority communities and biomedical researchers, bridging personal and scientific narratives through fabric.
As part of UCD Conway Institute’s Patient Voice in Health Research initiative, the project highlights the vital importance of including diverse voices in health research. During 2024’s Get Togethers, researchers and community members exchanged stories through fabric, with subjects ranging from cultural traditions and lived experiences to cancer research and antibiotic resistance. Each fabric story is a doorway into the patterns of a person’s life or of their life’s work. This exhibition invites visitors to explore the intersection of these voices, highlighting how we are all ‘cut from the same cloth’.

Teresa Crowley, CEO and Director of the Hunt Museum, “At The Hunt Museum, we are proud to showcase Cut From The Same Cloth—a project that not only celebrates the intersection of art and science but also highlights the voices of those often unheard in research. This exhibition is a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusion, and we’re thrilled to share these inspiring stories with our visitors.”
Lorna Donlon, Cut From the Same Cloth, Founder and Artist, “Creating Cut From The Same Cloth has been a deeply meaningful process, weaving together not just fabric but the stories of individuals who are often overlooked in research. By reimagining biomedical data as art, I hope to show how science and personal experience are connected, reminding us all that every thread in our community matters.”
Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO of Research Ireland, “We are very proud to support this project through the Research Ireland Discover programme. This project is a wonderful example of how the intersection of art and science can bolster inclusivity in research. Not only is the work on display at this exhibition beautiful and intricate, but it helps to amplify minority voices in such a universal and moving way.”
