Book

It’s time for the guided tour.

The art critic is losing the plot, the exhibition won’t stay still and the work is coming to life around you.

Led by an increasingly unhinged critic, this darkly comic gallery tour blends visual art and aerial performance to explore navigating the Irish healthcare system with endometriosis.

Rooted in lived experience, it skewers authority, misdiagnosis, and the silence where meaning slips, bodies speak, and truth is persistently, absurdly rewritten.
