5 – 6.30 pmFree; booking essential via Eventbrite W/w follows the trials and triumphs of Mary, an aspiring artist and writer, in conflict with the world around her. Confined to the porch of her family home, Mary’s consciousness searches for a new form, a larger space, to occupy. A bildungsroman a couple of years too late, ahomecoming when she’s never left home, a Künstlerroman in denial, a neurosis; W/w is a work of autofiction that spins out into the space of the world. Sarah Long is an artist and writer based in Cork. Her work focuses on suppressed female archetypes, the politics of representation, nationhood, and myth through the lens of feminism. Her practice involves painting and expands into the mediums of writing, sound, moving image, and performance. She holds a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Crawford College of Art & Design. In 2022, she graduated from Glasgow School of Art with a Masters of Letters in Art Writing and received the John Calcutt Critical Writing Prize. In 2023, she was the inaugural Critic-in-Residence at Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Co. Cork. Sarah Long is a 4 year member of Backwater Artists Group. This event is funded by Backwater Artists Group Art Council’s Art Grant Funding 2024.
