Research Interests
Lorna Dillon is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at Ulster University. Her research focus is Latin American art and culture. Lorna is particularly interested in the relationship between visual art and human rights and the importance of culture and education to democratic societies. Her current Leverhulme project ‘The Symbolic in Processes of Transitional Justice’ explores the work of textile artists and art collectives in Latin America that use embroideries, quilts and arpilleras (applique art) to mobilize against injustice and human rights abuses.
Lorna’s doctoral research was on the Chilean artist, poet and musician Violeta Parra and this led to two books: Violeta Parra: Life and Work (2017) and Violeta Parra’s Visual Art: Painted Songs (2020). Lorna has also published journal articles and book chapters on Violeta Parra’s art.
