TULCA 2025 Curator: Beulah Ezeugo

Curator Biography

TULCA is pleased to announce Beulah Ezeugo as the curator of the 23rd edition of TULCA Festival of Visual Arts in 2025.

Beulah Ezeugo is a curator and writer who works between Ireland and the UK. Her practice engages with postcolonial geographies and memory, and expands outward through critical writing, exhibition-making, and public programming. Beulah programmes the lecture series, Race, Rights, and Sovereignty at Glasgow School of Art, and is a cofounder (with Joselle Ntumba) of Éireann and I – a community archive and memory project. 

Recent residencies and awards include Platform Commissions, 41st EVA International (2025), SIRIUS Critic-in-Residence (2024), and 11:11 x Iniva Residency, Stuart Hall Library, London (2024). She was a Research Associate at CCA Derry~Londonderry (2022-24) and recipient of Glasgow International’s Black Curators Collective Bursary (2021). Her writing has appeared in The Irish Times, as well as in publications by Douglas Hyde Gallery, Durty Books, and Bloomers Magazine.

“I’m delighted to be invited to curate TULCA this year. Over the past few years, the festival has consistently offered compelling interventions within the Irish arts landscape. The opportunity to contribute to this lineage will undoubtedly be formative. It feels especially meaningful both at this point in my practice and in this current moment. The systems that we know and operate within are being rapidly reconfigured, and artists and cultural workers have a vital role to play in staying with the trouble. As this becomes increasingly difficult, with growing barriers and heightened censorship around cultural production, it feels pertinent to create space for those courageously engaging with urgent issues.”
