we passed the flame: we wonder

what saved us? what for?

 – H.D., The Walls Do Not Fall (1942)

Artist Keira Greene and poet Kimberly Campanello invite you to reflect on what at first glance appears to be empty, absent, and quiet; but which may also be a source of imagery, language, and cacophony. We will explore how to disrupt habitual patterns of thinking and perception, through a range of improvisational exercises in filmmaking and writing.

This event is part of the two artists' ongoing research into Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland and the UK.

Keira Greene is an artist working across film, photography, performance and text. Her work is preoccupied with the social and organic life and landscape of specific environments. Her work is produced through a collaborative and conversational practice of looking, writing and forming enduring relationships. Recent works are concerned with ideas of the body and the experience of emotion, in dialogue with an embodied filmmaking practice. is an artist working across film, photography, performance and text.

Across Kimberly Campanello's writing in whatever form it takes – prose, poetry, objects, asemics, translations, versions, performances – her abiding preoccupation is with the power of language to ‘change states’ in all senses of the phrase – changing our understandings of the law and the State, changing our emotional-physical-spiritual-intellectual states, and changing its own state as each word shifts and morphs with every use and encounter.
