Love, Rage & Solidarity is a solo exhibition by Treasa O’Brien which runs at Galway Arts Centre until June 29th, featuring a selection of works spanning her practice as an artist and filmmaker that focus on cultures and communities of resistance.

Using documentary and narrative forms, essay film, sci-fi, and DIY tactics, O’Brien investigates the potential of video and filmmaking as both an artist and an activist. The works explore (de)colonialism, social politics, climate change and migration, with an intersectional, queer, and feminist approach.

We spoke to Treasa about her approach to mediums, how one of the Films that are screening came into existince and using human umbilical cords as a medium of expression.
