Marie Theresa Crick
Artist | Researcher | Facilitator
Marie Theresa Crick is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, facilitator, Visiting Lecturer, and PhD candidate in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London. Based between Dublin and London, her practice moves across film, sound, performance, embodied workshops, listening and reading groups, writing, and living archival practice.
Her work explores breath, maternal lineages, Irish diasporic memory, correspondence, and shared ecologies of air. Rooted in feminist philosophy, transnational feminisms, and practice-based research, she develops methods of filmic breath, sonic breath, and shared air to ask how difficult histories might be listened to, held, and transformed without being resolved, exposed, or made spectacle.
Her current practice unfolds through two interconnected constellations: Shared Air and Radical Friendship.
Shared Air explores breath as method, memory, and relation. Beginning from the Irish diasporic mother-daughter relation, it opens toward wider forms of co-presence through film, sound, performance, workshops, and embodied listening.
Radical Friendship extends this work into collective and socially engaged forms through listening and reading groups, correspondence, annotation, shared study, and living archives. It asks how we might remain in relation across difference, uncertainty, discomfort, and distance.
Across her work, Marie Theresa creates spaces where art, theory, lived experience, and collective reflection can move together.
