Michael Dignam is a visual artist and filmmaker. His practice explores shifting ideas of class, labour, and belonging, often responding to fractured histories and speculative futures. Through layered, research-led projects, he examines how identities are shaped by changing dynamics of space, power, and collective memory.
Working across film, installation, performance, and archival reconstruction, he uses layering, material experimentation, and collaboration to explore the slippages between memory, politics, and place. His work is grounded in lived experience and place-based research, often beginning from personal or local histories and expanding outward to engage with broader social, political, and economic structures.
