Culture That Made Me: Irish artist Amanda Coogan in advance of Cork Midsummer Festival

Coogan will perform Teresa Deevy’s play Dignity at St Luke's 

Growing up as the child of deaf parents has had a huge impact on Amanda Coogan's artistic output. 

Amanda Coogan, 54, grew up in Ballinteer, Dublin. She is a performance artist whose work has been exhibited around the world, including at the Venice Biennale, and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. 

Along with the Cork Deaf Community Choir and others, she will perform Teresa Deevy’s play Dignity as part of Cork Midsummer Festival at The Crypt at St. Luke’s, June 19-21. See: corkmidsummer.com
