Tairseach

25th June 2022

Artists: Sinéad O’Donnell, Selina Bonelli, Marta Bosowska
20th – 26th of June
Public Performance on Saturday 25th of June, 2pm -6pm*

“We are three disparate female and non-binary performance artists coming together to find new ways of continuing to make art in a post-pandemic world and to develop new and innovative methodologies that can be used by us and other artists. This project is about not just adapting and managing, but acknowledging that the world has changed and that our practices will never be the same. We want to use this project to develop new ways of working that encompass the past and the pandemic, but that adapt to us and our future.” Sinead O’Donnell

Irish performance artist Sinéad O’Donnell will collaborate with Selina Bonelli (Maidstone, England) and Marta Bosowska (Poznan, Poland) on a new disability-led project and hybrid way of creative engagement. After a period of online dialogue and virtual and in-person research, the project will culminate in a residency and live public performance in Belfast.

This project is funded by the Four Nations international fund by Arts council of Northern Ireland, Arts Council of England, Arts Council of Wales & Creative Scotland and supported by the Belfast based disabled-led arts charity The University of Atypical.

Intangible Bodies – Paul Moore

Intangible Bodies presents a projection mapped audio-visual installation, that treats the gallery as an interface, where perception, attention, and internal sensation are made spatial and shareable. The work is encountered through movement and proximity, part screen, part stage, part signal field.

twixt – group exhibition

‘twixt takes its name from the notion of being in between, at an interval and interweaving. Recipients of our d/Deaf and Disabled Support Fund grant programme have used the funding to deliver new pathways towards their own goals, some artists pursuing experimental directions or new ambitions – each at their own stage of development and discovery between concept and realisation.
‘twixt showcases the work of some of our twenty d/Deaf and Disabled Artists Support Fund 2025 (DDASF) awardees, including Darlene Corry, Elly Makem, Emma Brennan, Eve Belle, Finn Nichol, Hana Abri Smith, Indigo Azidahaka, Jamie Baker, Jayne Cherry, Kate Guelke, Brian McAvera, Abby Oliveira and Liam Devlin. The exhibition includes ceramics, painting, textiles, music, photography, digital art, spoken word and sculpture.
