Join us for an illustrated talk online as part of the Basic Talks programme.
Join us for an online talk with artist Jane Cassidy.
Jane Cassidy is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator from Galway City whose practice spans installation, video, music composition, electronics, and visual design for theatre. She creates immersive audiovisual environments that evoke a sense of synesthesia, blending sound and image into meditative multisensory experiences.
Cassidy trained in music and visual art, earning a Master’s in Music and Media Technologies from Trinity College Dublin and an MFA in Digital Art from Tulane University in New Orleans. Her solo exhibitions have been presented at the Knoxville Museum of Art (Tennessee), Customs House Gallery (Westport), Pallas Projects (Dublin), the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts (Alabama), the University of New Orleans Gallery (Louisiana), and the Ann Arbor Film Festival (Michigan).
In addition to her solo practice, Cassidy has collaborated on projects including Tactile Tunes with Arts Alive at the Galway International Arts Festival, The Sound Nest with That’s Life, Somnium with Brú Theatre, Aibreán with Art Squad at the Museum of Country Life, Making Space at the Galway Arts Centre, Babies in Space at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the New Orleans Shakespeare Festival, and a performance with Animal Collective at The Music Box, New Orleans.
Free, booking essential. Those who book will be sent a Zoom link prior to the talk.
