An ‘In Conversation’ event with artists Fiona Whelan and Ciaran Smyth

Rua Red, South Dublin Arts Centre

In this ‘In Conversation’ event, artist Fiona Whelan will reflect on the content and process of making The River – a large-scale visual mapping of the processual features of her arts practice which engages with systemic power relations and inequalities through long-term collaborations.Fiona will be in conversation with artist and researcher Dr Ciaran Smyth who supported her in a process of recursive mapping, as the pair explored new cartographic strategies for visualising this collaborative and socially engaged practice.The conversation will be moderated by Carolann Courtney (Create).
