Ruairí Valentine
About
Ruairí Valentine is an artist and writer engaging with ideas around queerness, gender and mythology. Drawing irreverently from a combination of their Irish heritage, pan-Celtic mythology, genderqueer embodiment and Queer theory, Valentine constructs semi-fictional narratives that intersect and interrupt reality, offering an alternative perspective from which to observe and critique that which we consider to be fixed normality.
