Uchronia and the Tachyonic Antitelephone both draw from Sinead’s experience of grief and shame following the death of her son in 2000. She often uses her practice to explore this and other difficult and personal events, and has contributed to the First Fortnight mental health arts festival in the past, making two large scale pieces exploring public perceptions of mental health. Sinead will be joined by Eithne McAdam, visual arts curator with First Fortnight, for an informal discussion on these themes in her own work and the broader art world, and how the arts can facilitate a more open discourse.
