Saturday 1 November
Bandon Public Library, 2pm
Crawford Art Gallery is delighted to partner with Creative Bandon and participate in this year’s Bandon Banshee Festival!
Performance artist Amanda Coogan will introduce her practice with a particular focus on the series Come Then, The Birds (2021) in which the artist draws parallels between the figure of Mary Magdalene and a community of Irishwomen known as the Wrens. From Come Then, The Birds to Caught in the Furze performed at this year’s Cork Midsummer Festival, the artist uses her own body to explore social misfits, wayward and unmanageable women who refused to conform to societal rules.
Coogan has performed and exhibited her work extensively worldwide, most recently at the Royal Academy London, the Bangkok Art Biennale and the Project Arts Centre in Dublin.
This event is free to attend, open to all, and no booking is required.
