About

Meadhbh McNutt is an Irish artist, art writer and editor.
Meadhbh's artistic practice traverses creative writing, critical theory and visual art. Her work grapples with ideas of voyeurism, technology and power – unearthing discrepancies between lived experience and the systems from which we seek guidance.
Meadhbh was recipient of the 2020 VAI/DCC Art Writing Award. She is currently delivering the fourth edition of her sold-out art writing workshop series at CCA Derry~Londonderry. Throughout 2019, Meadhbh served as Co-Director at Galway's 126 Artist-Run Gallery while also working as a freelance editor and copywriter.
Her words can be found in Tank Magazine, Circa Art Magazine, HeadStuff and Visual Artists' News Sheet, among other publications. Her visual work has been exhibited internationally in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Hungary, Poland and Hong Kong.
