Join artist Rónán Ó Raghallaigh for a lunchtime talk exploring his practice, processes, and the themes of folklore, language, and identity that shape his work on Wednesday 22 April from 12.30 – 1.30pm at GOMA Waterford.Rónán Ó Raghallaigh is currently exhibiting as part of SANCTUM at GOMA Waterford (2 – 25 April), an exhibition curated by Anna Jeznach and Ciara Magee, the awardees of GOMA Waterford’s Emerging Curator Award 2026.
Ó Raghallaigh is an artist and researcher based in County Kildare, Ireland. His practice encompasses painting, writing, performance and develops decolonial relationships with folklore, land, and language, engaging with suppressed histories, layered memory and hybrid identities.
Moving between studio-based and site-specific contexts, he prioritises process, improvisation, and intuition, often drawing on ritual and trance states. His practice explores cultural exchange, animism, and folk practices as pathways toward ecological awareness and collective healing. Re-learning Irish in adulthood, Ó Raghallaigh incorporates the language during performances, for work-titles and alongside English and vernacular dialect in writing.
