Mhairi Sutherland talks about the background of Re-Imagining Treason

Mhairi Sutherland sat with us to talk about the background to Re-Imagining Treason, her exhibition running in Gallery II from 6th Oct - 19th Nov 2022
In Re-Imagining Treason, Mhairi Sutherland combines research and lens-based media to explore imperialism and nationalism. Representing a long-standing artistic interrogation of the subject, this work is also part of Sutherland’s interest in the contestations and contradictions of Irish-British cultural identity.
Sutherland’s work takes the form of a sea journey, a photographic archive and connected historical narratives. It takes inspiration from the words and lives of Erskine Childers and Mary Spring Rice. Sutherland’s work draws threads of connection between the two, in the wider context of Irish Nationalism in the early-20th century.
