Contemporary Gaelic Poetry in Visual Art

Visual Arts Research Lead
Aoife Ní Dhomhnaill leads research into visual arts and literature with particular focus on collaborative manuscript projects such as 'An Leabhar Mòr', the Great Book of Gaelic. Her work dissects how poets, calligraphers and visual artists were paired, and how editorial constraints shaped finished plates. She frames her findings as advisory models, helping institutions decide when artistic autonomy should yield to thematic coherence across large multi-artist commissions.
