In Brief: Residencies & Collaboration


Drawing on diverse experience in artist residencies, collaborative research, and community-based teaching, my practice is a dynamic dialogue between creative inquiry and academic exploration. Rooted in embodied methodologies and transnational feminist praxis, I transform personal and collective narratives through immersive residencies and innovative projects. This page highlights selected residencies and collaborations that not only enrich my artistic practice but also demonstrate the tangible impact of integrating creative work with community engagement and scholarly research.

Tsarino Textual Breath - Razklon Gallery (23 Sep - 23 Nov)

My interdisciplinary practice develops through artist residencies, collaborative research, and community engagement. Drawing on embodied methodologies and transnational feminist praxis, my work explores the complexities of Irish Catholic maternal history, migration, and memory. Through diverse experiences—from intensive research courses and summer schools to teaching and public exhibitions—I have developed a practice-based methodology that bridges art, academia, and community. These collaborative projects not only shape my creative and academic practice but also reinforce the vital connections between personal narrative and collective inquiry.

My work is deeply rooted in collaborative, research-driven environments that span both artistic and academic contexts. Below are some key highlights from my practice:
