IN RITUAL

Presented at Clifden Arts Festival 2025, IN RITUAL is the first in a national series of site-responsive ritual offerings where artist, fire, and landscape converge to explore thresholds of transformation. At its core, this is an invitation to explore the spiritual and material dimensions of charcoal-making as a ceremonial act, and offer intimate encounters with the landscape.

Note: The performance ticket link will bring you to an Eventbrite page, whereas the workshop tickets can be purchased directly through my site.

IN RITUAL - Anointing is an intimate, interactive ceremonial performance centred around fire, transformation, and charcoal making. Created and performed by artist Kari Cahill, the work invites the audience into a living installation where they will participate in a self-anointing ritual that offers an intimate encounter with the landscape. 

Join artist Kari Cahill for a hands-on workshop exploring the transformation of natural materials into charcoal pigment and ink. Experience painting as a ritual practice that deepens connection to place and process.
