Catarina Araújo works with sculpture, printmaking and film. Her practice researches mental health distresses and behavioural patterns by exploring the connection between the body and mind.
Contatto is the search for that feeling of human connection. The sense of precarity, uncertainty and loss of physical contact caused by the Covid-19 pandemic drove this creative challenge. Artists who have roots in Ireland and beyond are the protagonists of this story, the story of Ireland’s creativity, a story that is not complete without these voices.
Supported by Arts Council Ireland and South Dublin County Council and Creative Ireland.
