In late 2021 artist Kate O’Shea began a process of critical reflection and review of twelve years of her artistic practice with mentor Dr Ciaran Smyth. Gravity Express #1 is a publication which they co-constructed with a view to sharing some insights from that mentoring process. Focusing on the ruptures, transitions and re-formulations over the course of Kate’s sustained commitment to art and activism, Gravity Express captures some fragments from their work together in the form of a critical archaeology of artistic becomings. Presented in the style of the popular tabloid newspaper, it was first made publicly available as part of an in-conversation event at the Cork Mid-Summer Festival, June 2022.
 
Gravity Express #1 was in part supported by an Arts Council Of Ireland Artist in the Community (AIC) Scheme Bursary Award in Collaborative Arts and Community Development, awarded to Kate O’Shea.

Read the report

In July 2020, Create and Counterpoints Arts, a UK-based arts agency dedicated to Art, Migration and Social Change, held a Learning Lab on Collaborative Arts, Diversity and Social Justice, which brought together artists, activists, policymakers and racial justice/ human rights advocates and activists, to think about how we might put the principles around ‘equality, diversity and human rights’ into practice in Ireland. The Learning Lab coincided with the European Union marking the 20th anniversary of the Race and Equality Directive (June 29th) and was framed in the context of the Irish Arts Council’s Equality Human Rights and Diversity Policy
and Strategy (2019).

This report document comprises an edited transcript of the conversations held that day.
