To mark the festivities of St. Bridget’s Day Weekend 2024, we are inspired by a goddess of poetry, spring, and fertility, Bridget, to bring you Living But A Day: Anamcara. From abortionist to feminist and lesbian icon, in this work we are reminded of the sapphic love between her and her “anamcara” or “soul-friend”, Darlughdach, in our Queer celebration of our Patroness Saint.
Living But A Day: Anamcara is a collaborative performance-led workshop by artists Chloe Austin, Lauren Kelly, Day Magee, poet Emer Lyons, curated by Emma Brennan. Through movement, speech, and performance-based art, the workshop will combine individual voices into a collective narrative that reflect on mythic time and queer kinship. Participants will engage in writing, drawing, and improvisational movement to develop their own performative works with guidance and direction from the artists. At the end of the workshop, the artists will wopen the space to the public, inviting an audience to witness them occupy the space through a collaborative performance influenced by the activities during the workshop.
Living But A Day is a collaborative project led by PhD Researcher Chloe Austin. This ongoing touring exhibition (or intervention) explores ephemerality as a process that encourages room for intimate and physical engagements with feminist and queer archival material across the island of Ireland.
