Lucie McLaughlin is a Belfast born artist and writer. She works with sound and writing. She is interested in how art and language can be made unfamiliar by a collapse in distance between the ordinary and the imaginative, and how certain political atmospheres and socio-psychological states that in themselves cannot be easily articulated, emerge through practice. She has worked recently with Catalyst Arts, Belfast, JOAN Publishing, London and BOMB Magazine, New York. She is a research associate at CCA Derry~Londonderry 2022-2024.
