Artist - Performer - Educator - Collaborator

My practice encompasses visual art, physical theatre and digital arts.

Exploring themes of power, local/place, myths/urban legends, identity/belonging that link art to social justice issues, politics and alternative education. Focusing on group engagement and creating a collaborative environment that questions and explores issues through the arts so that we become confident in our own voice and expressing opinions through a range of artistic practices.

Over ten years experience working for a range of organisations and schools in England, Australia and Ireland.

I have graduated from: Goldsmiths University , London with a Postgraduate Certificate in Art and Design Education

Kingston University, London - MA with Distinction in Fine Art with Learning & Teaching in Higher Education,

NCAD, Dublin, with a Postgraduate Diploma in Community, Art and Education

GMIT, CCAM, Galway, with a BA (Honours) in Fine Art

I’m a Creative Associate as part of Creative Schools. Creative Schools is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme to enable the creative potential of every child. Creative Schools is led by the Arts Council in partnership with the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, with support and input from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs.

I am a visual artist and I facilitate physical theatre workshops based on my experience as a performer with Macnas and Earwig! If you would like to check out my art practice, please visit my visual art website:   http://jojohynes.com/
