Michelle Browne

Michelle Browne is an artist and educator based in Dublin Ireland. Her work looks at what it means to live together: how society organises itself socially, politically and spatially. Performance and participation are core parts of her practice. Browne’s recent work ‘Cycles’ (2024) for Carlow Arts Festival took the form of an audio experience while cycling through the countryside, considering our relationship with the land, history and our increasingly precarious future as climate change takes hold. Other recent projects include: Fringe Was Here a curated project with a group of artists to look at the history of site responsive works in the Dublin Fringe Festival over the past 30 years; Listening to the City II a series of commissioned fictional texts looking at the experience of young children and their carers in the city; the development of a new board game about work with accompanying video work commissioned by Heart of Glass, St. Helens UK. Recent exhibitions and events include: Mná na hÉireann, NCAD Gallery, 2024; Twist, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Tasmania (2023); The Midnight Run with Inua Ellams for The Abbey Theatre (2022). She is a lecturer in the Department of Sculpture and Expanded Practice at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin.
