Artist in Residence, CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory, Cork
I’m Niamh! I’m a performer, writer & communicator with 2 degrees in engineering & a PhD in science. Passionate about igniting peoples curiosity, I explore crossovers in STEM, art & communication to share the human story of science. But principally, I’ve set myself a life’s mission to get to space as artist and citizen.
I’ve created 3 theatre shows, 3 multimedia installations, oodles of public events, hit a zero gravity flight, witnessed live launches & landings of astronaut crews, completed over 20 EVA hrs as analogue astronaut at simulated Mars missions, studied & lectured at ISU’s Space Studies Programme, created my first RTÉ radio series ‘Curious Humans’. I’ve spoken at events including WIRED Live UK, Space Rocks (ESA), NASA Johnson Space Centre, Inspirefest, New Scientist (UK), at academic & space-related conferences, schools, career events & am a regular contributor to BBC’s Sky at Night magazine since 2016. All of this work is part of my #getniamhtospace quest. With strong support from Ireland,I am the Artist in Residence at CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory, Cork. I’m especially proud to have spoken at Áras an Uachtarain, in response to President Higgins ’Women in STEM’ speech for International Women’s Day 2019 & to be this years 2019/20 Irish Girl Guides Ambassador. And as a guest on both ‘The Late Late Show’ & ‘The Tommy Tiernan Show’ RTÉ TV shows, I spoke about the story so far & the need to engage with our planet. But there’s still a long way yet to go and I need everyone’s support in order to succeed. I’ve made projects with European Space Agency, British Council, Arts@CERN, Lottie Dolls, ESERO Ireland, The Ark Children’s Centre & more.
