Aisling is an artist, curator and researcher, interested in working collaboratively to generate dialogues surrounding labour, social & material histories, choreo-politics* and care.
Her practice embraces moving image, performance, print, collage and curating.
Through collaborative research methods, she examines movement, gesture and human and non-human entanglements in relation to resistance and choreo-political action.

*choreo-politics ~ how do we move politically?
Currently researching Andre Lepecki’s notion of choreo-politics and how this can be put into practice through social activities and collaborative gestures.
