In today’s episode, we sit down with Macha Shewolf – a neurodivergent, queer, multi-disciplinary ritual artist from Cork – to talk about her journey through creativity, challenge, and resilience.Macha opens up about navigating the difficulties of studying in college while living with ADHD and dyslexia, and how these experiences have shaped both her perspective and her art practice. She also shares how motherhood has become a powerful source of inspiration in her work, and what she believes the government could be doing better to support single parents.Her practice spans performance, sound, and film, rooted in radical and eco-feminism, indigeneity, ecology, and the persistent structures of capitalism and colonialism. Guided by intuition and lived experience, Macha’s work is embodied – delivered through movement, voice, sound, words, and the environments they inhabit.Drawing on a background in folk and contemporary dance, circus, and music medicine, she continues to create work that challenges perspectives and invites us to reimagine presence.✨ One of Macha’s guiding philosophies: “Conception to Death, the in-between is for Living.”Topics we cover in this episode:Growing up and studying with ADHD and dyslexiaThe role of motherhood in shaping creativityThe intersections of art, ecology, feminism, and ritualWhat single parents need from government supportThe challenges and resilience of being a neurodivergent artistWhy presence is at the heart of her practiceAbout Macha Shewolf:Macha completed her Honours BA in Visual Art in 2024.
