About Sinead McCann
Dr Sinéad McCann is a multidisciplinary socially engaged artist, researcher and educator. Her practice is committed to investigating and responding to social inequality. She leads and develops cross-sector collaborations. She works with a diverse range of people, networks, groups, researchers, artists and community organisations.
Her practice is informed by and takes its cues from the lived experiences of the people she works with. She works directly with and in the areas of disability, addiction, homelessness, prison, mental health, men’s health women’s health and social care, theory and policy. This collaborative work is expressed through theatre-based productions, gallery-based video and sculpture installation, multi-channel audio/visual site-specific installation, site-specific sound installation, radio programming and street and site-specific performance, to relevant and appropriate audiences.
She lectures part-time in socially engaged art practice in the department of Sculpture and Expanded practice at the National College of Art and Design. Previously, she worked embedding socially engaged projects across disciplines at undergraduate and postgraduate level for 12 years in TU Dublin.
