Gaelic

Tha Alicia Hendrick na neach-ealain is na Croitear Cruthachail a th’ air a bhith an sàs ann an tèatar, curaideachadh is ris na h-ealainean lèirsinneach. Tha an obair aice a’ toirt a-steach tarraing, stàladh, obair-chlò, teacsa, agus meadhanan measgaichte. Mar Neach-cùraim aig An Tobar, dh’iarr i pròiseactan a-mach air cultar is teacsa Gàidhlig, Tales of the Museum agus Absent Voices nam measg. Tha Alicia air taisbeanadh fada ’s farsaing, le taisbeanaidhean-aonair leithid Àite naomh (2023) agus Leabaidh Rìoghail do Chalum Chille aig Acadamaidh Rìoghail na h-Alba (2024). Le freumhan domhainn ann an dualchas na Gàidhlig, tha an obair aice an-dràsta a’ nochdadh nan ceanglaichean a th’ aice fad na tìde ri cruth na tìre agus cànan.

“Tha mi a’ cleachdadh cànan is cruth-tìre na Gàidhlig gus ceanglaichean a dhèanamh ris an ùine a dh’fhalbh gus tuigse nas fheàrr fhaighinn air cò th’ annam agus càite bheil mi a’ dol agus tha mi an dòchas gu bheil an turas agam na sgal-creige do dhaoine eile.” – Alicia Hendrick
