• Research title & description of present research:
“POINTS OF DEPARTURE AND A REMEMBERED EDGE”: AN INHERITED CULTURAL MEMORY OF IRISH FEMALE MIGRATION THROUGH PERFORMATIVE ENGAGEMENTS AS A FEMALE ARTIST.
Through an artistic positioning this research is an exploration of the heritable memories of migration within the Irish Diaspora, specifically the narratives of the women who were engaged in these journeys. This creative engagement is opened up and explored through the biography of of my Grandmother, Agnes Flynn (nee McBride) who lived within a peripheral environment – the coast of Northern Donegal - with shoreline as a continual symbolic edge. Immersed within my research handling will be this translation of a diasporic cultural memory, and the collective awareness of this distanced ancestral backdrop. Central to this study is the documentation of myself forming engagements with the thematic concerns of the research, namely notions of separation, loss, distance, absence and the internal and external boundaries of a personal sense of landscape.
