The Arts Council of Northern Ireland is delighted that artist Amanda Coogan, former ACNI awardee, will be sharing her work at the prestigious Venice Biennale. Coogan will show her Ode to Joy – Thai Sign Language video work, transposing Beethoven’s 9th Symphony into body language.
The work hones the spirits of rage, resistance, resilience and hope. Working with a Thai Deaf choir the piece remembers this totemic symphony with the magnetic power of Amanda’s in performance.
