A Collection of Disarticulated Bones is a new body of work that traverses centres of knowledge in the US, UK and Europe in order to unpick different foundation myths of the Global North: institutional, pop cultural and embodied. This long-term research project examines how decisions relating to preservation and presentation of histories can shape national and individual identities, in the context of imperialism, late capitalism, rising ethnonationalism and polarized public debate on both sides of the Atlantic.

This research is supported by the Centre for Creative Technologies University of Galway, Galway Culture Company, University of Galway, Askeaton Contemporary Arts, Project Arts Centre, Dublin, and the Arts Council of Ireland. A Collection of Disarticulated Bones will be presented as an off-site exhibition at Galway City Museum in Ireland as part of TULCA festival of visual arts in November 2024, curated by Michele Horrigan.
