Earth Climate Scotland – Deirdre O’Mahony

This is the video of the first Earth Climate Scotland (ECS) discussion with artist Deirdre O’Mahony, talking with over 30 participants about her interest in the politics of landscape, rural/urban relationships, rural sustainability and food security.

Deirdre O’Mahony is a visual artist living in Ireland. Public artworks X-PO (2007- ) and SPUD (2009–2019) both reflected on the broader tensions between knowledge erasure and agricultural modernisation. She is a graduate of St Martins School of Art, London, Crawford College, Cork and completed a PhD at the University of Brighton in 2012.

Awards include Arts Council of Ireland Project and Bursary awards, Irish and international residencies and a Pollock-Krasner Fellowship. Her work is in the National Collection of the Arts Council of Ireland and the Irish Museum of Modern Art.

Earth Climate Scotland is a collaboration between SCAN (Scottish Contemporary Art Network) and the Scottish Artists Union.
