Date: Friday, September 27th

Location: Upstairs at Madhatter (1319 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20036)
Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty are collaborative artists living and working between counties Sligo and Leitrim in Ireland. Working together for over a decade, they use performance, video, sound installation and storytelling, along with a detailed research process, to convey visions of transience and resistance. Their recent work tests the possibility of creating a new identity for Ireland that will acknowledge our struggles, admit our complicities and build our capacity for solidarity.
Join us for an evening with Ruth and Niamh as they explore "A Collection of Disarticulated Bones," a new body of work that traverses centers of knowledge in the US, UK and Europe in order to unpack different foundation myths of the Global North: institutional, pop cultural and embodied. The live performance of “I don't believe in 'isms', I just believe in me” will begin at 7pm, and there will be four other short video works to experience in the installation.
Four years ago during the pandemic, Solas Nua commissioned the amazing multidisciplinary artists, Ruth Clinton and Niamh Moriarty to make the digital experience Landless. Watch again HERE.
