Contemporary Art Practice: Artist Tara Carroll
Tara Carroll is multidisciplinary artist whose social practice rests upon the perception of the body, impacted by historical narratives; and its placement in individualistic society. During difficult times of embodied conflictions, their community supports them in creating new pathways of care. The work Tara creates is to return this gift.
This illustrated talk will explore their art practice including Art as Pilgrimage a durational socially engaged art project exploring histories of pilgrimage, their upcoming participatory exhibition ‘Resonances Ripples’ and Chronic Collective transdisciplinary arts collective developing radical access-focused projects.
Fee: €5, including tea /coffee. Tickets available at Reception on the day.
Tara’s art practice advocates for inclusivity and accessibility for all in the arts and society. They want to ensure the inclusion of our disabled and high-risk friends by making this a masked event to ensure the safety for everyone in the space. This is to practice harm reduction and community care during a time capitalism and individualism often take precedence. They ask everyone who can mask to do so. This will also enable Tara to be present and connect with attendees for a more dynamic and joyful talk. High quality FFP2 masks will be provided on entry and a HEPA filter will be present in the lecture space.
