Aoife Hayes is an emerging curator moonlighting as a retail assistant from Co. Kerry and based in Cork city. Having completed her BA History of Art & French (UCC) with honours, she joined K-Fest Arts & Music Festival’s visual arts team in 2019.

“My research is concerned with the state of precarity endured by contemporary practitioners of art and art workers. I explore this through a process-led practice and am especially interested in the protection and conservation of artist-led spaces.” 

Aoife is co-producing host/ghost as part of Rebound Arts Festival (April 8th-10th, 2022).
