Marianne Keating is an artist and researcher, based in London. Keating’s work explores the broader legacies of British imperialism in Ireland, Jamaica, and beyond through film installations which combine archival materials, found footage, newly shot footage, text and sound. Her practice examines intersecting and overlooked narratives of Irish emigration to the Carribean as a new labour force – initially through indentured labour – after the abolition of enslavement.
