In 2021, I was awarded an Arts Council of Ireland Agility Award, with which I interviewed eight artists, educators and curators working in the field of socially engaged art and created the e-publication Talking Out Loud.

In this publication, we discuss our experiences of working in the field, their questions on this practice and their hopes for the future as socially engaged art continues to grow and expand in Ireland. Brought together under a series of topics, these conversations are an informal stroll through the field, providing points for reflection and a great starting point for those curious to know more.

Talking Out Loud includes conversations with William Bock, Jessica Bonenfant, Helen Carey, Mary Conroy, Clodagh Emoe, Hollie Kearns, Gareth Kennedy, and Fiona Whelan.
