Cork County Council and Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre are delighted to announce that Toma McCullim has been awarded the Cork County Council / Uillinn Artist Residency for 2023.
Taking place from 4 April to 1 May, this residency supports artists seeking opportunities to research and develop their practice and to engage with Uillinn, local and diverse communities and the general public.
During her residency, Toma will continue her work with Traveller women and says ‘This residency is about unsettling the culture space. It asks the building to go on a journey. I am inviting in Traveller women to create with me a place of imagination. This is a fire which Buffers and Beoirs meet and whiden. This is a crossroads, a meeting place, an intersection. This is a cooking pot. This is a withy bender. This is a ferment of ideas.’
Prior to the screening there will be a short performance by Rosie McCarthy in Studio 1
Event is approximately 1.5 hours duration, with soft drink and snack reception
Toma McCullim is an ‘artivist’- an activist artist. Her work is powered by a strong belief in social justice and environmental ecology. Her participatory practice empowers her collaborators in the amplification of their own authentic voice. As an anthropologist of art, she is interested in the fundamental question: ‘What does art do?’ Her work stimulates a call to action for creative change making. Toma has a 1st class BA (hons) Degree in Anthropology of Art from the University of East Anglia and has an MA in Arts Process from the Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork.
