My curatorial practice is currently intertwined with my position as an organising member of Lash Back, a Dublin based feminist collective and zine. I am currently engaging with artists and galleries with a desire to affect social change and open feminist and socio-political discourse through various visual arts media as well as culture jamming, DIY publication and activism. My work seeks to strengthen and expand the feminist position in Ireland, and highlight the marginalisation of alternative perspectives and different forms of feminism around the world today. Inspired by curators and writers such as Ute Meta Bauer, Lucy Lippard and Amelia Jones, collectives and groups like Women on Waves, Riot Grrrl and The Guerrilla Girls, my current work attempts to broaden possibilities for artists in Ireland to enhance ongoing international feminist discourse. As a nation still not allowing access to safe and legal abortion, along with many other issues of inequality at the fore, I feel that artists in Ireland reflecting on these aspects of the discourse have much to offer.
