Brenda Kearney (Ireland) has many varied interests, usually involving food. Drawing on previous experience as a fishmon- ger, cook and student of anthropology, she enjoys projects where food processes - from cultivation to consumption - act as a vehicle for discussion and an exchange of ideas. She also incorporates ethnographic research in her work, particularly in the areas of craft and domesticity.

Her works include the publication The Shadow of James Joyce (Lilliput Press Ltd. 2011) and several years of involvement with adult education programs, and in mediating cross cultural community projects.

Fairland Collective is a group of artists and practitioners who have collaborated together in Ireland, the UK and Japan since 2015. With a wide range of skills to draw upon, they produce projects that recognise and prompt creativity in daily life. These projects often use cooking and meals to engage networks of people and communities, drawing on an archive of domestic skills and food processes gathered from previous and ongoing projects.
