Kathy D'Arcy

I am an autistic researcher, performance poet and feminist activist originally from Ireland. My project, 'AnFinn’, is funded by an Icelandic Research Fund postdoctoral fellowship and hosted by the University of Iceland School of Humanities with support from the Creative Writing programme, the Árni Magnússon Institute and the Centre for Disability Studies. Before this I completed an Irish Research Council funded Creative Writing PhD at University College Cork, Ireland. I have performed my poetry and experimental work at festivals, conferences and activist events around Ireland and Europe. I work on remaking silence and I always have though I did not know it. www.kathydarcy.com www.anfinn.hi.is
