Speaking of Which
A series of short films with eleven contemporary Irish artists and is designed for use in an educational setting by both teachers and arts organisations.
The video series gives some of Ireland's most exciting artists, activists, and filmmakers the chance to speak about the work they do and why they do it. From a young, emerging artist using camera technologies and nature to develop works centring on topics like deforestation, to an established sculptor and activist speaking out about the issues faced by rural communities in Palestine, these interviews bring together some of the most exciting, current, Irish artists working today.
The inspiration for these online films comes from the desire to create an opportunity for young people to engage with visual arts culture and to give them a unique insight into art practices, methods, and motivations through the words of practising artists and provides an opportunity for artists to communicate with a young audience. The series has interviews with artists who are at the beginning of their careers, and also with established artists taking risks in their practice.
These videos are ideal for use in an educational setting by teachers and arts organisations and are a fascinating opportunity to hear and learn more about the art-making process.
