Deirdre Maguire returned to St. John’s, Ktaqmkuk (NL) from Denmark in July 2025 after completing a master’s degree in Visual Anthropology at Aarhus University. They are now the Executive Director of St. Michael’s Printshop. Drawing on their background in anthropology and birth work, Deirdre’s art practice is slow and thorough, placing care and relationality at its core. Deirdre explores themes of mobility, care and belonging through mixed media installations, incorporating photography, textiles, and found materials. They have exhibited their work as part of Glimt Collective at KH7 Artspace in Aarhus, Denmark and look forward to their second public exhibition at Galerie 21 in Hamburg, Germany in August 2026.

We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, whose culture has now been erased forever. We also acknowledge the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) as the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. And we acknowledge Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu of Nitassinan, the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, and the Inuit of NunatuKavut. We recognize all First Peoples who were here before us, those who live with us now, and the seven generations to come. As First Peoples have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land and to respect the cultures, ceremonies, and traditions of all who call it home. As we open our hearts and minds to the past, we commit ourselves to working in a spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all.
