Living but a Day: Anamcara

In cohesion with Brigit: Dublin Celebrating Women 2024, Chloe Austin facilitated a performance-led workshop with invited artists Day Magee, Lauren Kelly, Emer Lyons, curated by Emma Brennan at Fumbally Stables, Dublin.

Through movement, speech, and performance-based art, the workshop combined individual voices into a collective narrative that reflect on mythic time and queer kinship. Using feminist and queer archival material (Women's News Magazine from HERe NI and Identity Magazine from IQA) as a starting point, the artists engaged in writing, drawing, and improvisational movement to develop performative works in collaboration with each other. At the end of the workshop, the artists opened 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.
