Rachel Botha

I am a curator, art historian and arts administrator. My expanded curatorial practice responds to the local context and investigates how people perceive their social framework. I believe that the responsibilities of a curator are twofold; a facilitator for the artist and a mediator for the viewing audience.

I hold a BA in History of Art & Architecture from Trinity College Dublin, and a MA in Visual Culture & Critical Studies from Technological University Dublin. I was the Provost’s Curatorial Fellow at The Douglas Hyde, Trinity College Dublin, a co-director of Catalyst Arts, Belfast, and the Emerging Curator in Residence at the Kilkenny Arts Office. I was appointed the Emerging Editor of Bloomers Magazine, and the Early Career Curator in Residence at the Regional Cultural Centre and Glebe House & Gallery in Donegal.
