Socially Engaged Artist and Creative Producer
My work in Curation and as a Creative Producer, involves concept development, programming, coordination and collaboration with individual artists and collectives, as well as community groups, for a variety of projects and initiatives, across art forms.
While I work closely with the artist(s) on the creative development, I also assemble the structures, processes and resources required to allow the creative work to happen, from a relational and communication aspect, as well as technical and logistical.
I also have a strong background in communications within the Arts, which has built skills in engaging with stakeholders, compelling storytelling, and connecting with audiences through words and imagery.
Poetry Ireland, Bram Stoker Festival, Dublin Fringe Festival are just some of the arts organisations I have worked with in this capacity.
