MARIE THERESA CRICK MA, MRES

Biography

Marie Theresa Crick is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, researcher and facilitator working between Ireland and the UK. Her practice explores breath, memory, migration and relationality through transnational feminist philosophy and embodied methodologies, spanning experimental film, sound, poetic storytelling and socially engaged artistic research.

She is a PhD researcher in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, a Visiting Lecturer and a fellow of the Advanced Practices PhD. Her doctoral research engages with Irish Catholic maternal shame, migration and transgenerational memory, developing breath-led and filmic methodologies attentive to silence, withholding and ethical relations.

Her practice unfolds through international artistic residencies, interdisciplinary collaborations, embodied workshops and collective research across Europe and the Americas. She is involved in the Radical Friendship Listening and Reading Group, a transnational constellation of artists, researchers, writers and others exploring friendship as a practice of collective study, care and remaining in relation across difference.

Over the past two years, her artistic practice has increasingly extended into temporary dwelling, living alongside animals and exploring more-than-human companionship. These experiences inform an evolving investigation into ecological responsibility, belonging and the relationships formed between people, animals and places.

Alongside her experimental film and sound practice, she develops poetic storytelling and critical writing that move between personal encounters, philosophical inquiry and collective artistic research.

Her ongoing writing, research reflections and experimental poetic work can be followed on Substack.
