If someone was to rate months in order of enjoyment from one to twelve, November might come last. It's dark, it's cold and wet, it's dry (in the sense that everyone is saving the ravaging of their livers until the silly season arrives) and it's got no bank holidays.
But Movember, well that's a different story.
Movember has become the main time of year for Mo Bros and Mos Sistas to spread much needed awareness for men's health issues in Ireland. It's not all about having the perfect opportunity to grow and style the versatile hair above your upper lip (although that is an awesome advantage for 'tache sporters and spectators alike) it gives the chance to motivate fellow countrymen and women to fight the good fight.
The Third Annual Movember Poster Exhibition will take place on November 7th in the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) Dublin in aid of Movember and the Irish Cancer Society. It's a celebration of people who not only break the rules when fighting that good fight but who inspire change.
Presented by designer Gianni Clifford and curator Orlaith Ross, it will feature some of the biggest names in the creative industry showing work that supports 'Gen Mo'.
This year's theme is 'Mess it Up'. It will honour the revolutionaries who take the road less travelled. The radicals who break the mould for others to follow. The instigators of the tomorrow.
Featuring original printed work for sale, over twenty-five world-class designers, photographers and illustrators including (but not at all restricted to) Michael Beirut, David Carson, Milton Glaser, The Stone Twins, Ben Bos, Linda Brownlee, Oliver Leffers and Aiden Grennel will band together to showcase their work inspired by Movember and the idea of 'messing it up.'
