Maria Fusco reading in the Kettle's Yard house

Professor Maria Fusco is a working-class Northern Irish writer and academic based in Scotland. Her distinct practice embodies sustained and interdisciplinary enquiry across the registers of critical, performance and auto-textual writing. She is the author of eight books, writer/director of four large scale touring performance works and two film scripts and she has published widely in international publications. Her work is experimental in form, and often characterised by an analysis of socio-economic circumstances, asking ‘who has the right to speak, and, in what way?’
