Moran Been-noon

Moran Been-noon is a Dublin-based visual artist and independent curator. She predominantly makes moving image installations using animation, archived material, and non-traditional projection methods. Her practice subject matter focus is on political identity and post-migration living. It incorporates manipulations of the body, its movement in a place of belonging, and a consideration of the link between folkloric places (real or imagined) and the self. She uses her own identity to explore how compound ethnicities influence one's sense of belonging.


Moran is currently visual artist in residence at Axis, Ballymun, which includes creating community engagements that link with her practice focus. She is also one of the current artists in residence at Digital Arts Studios in Belfast. In 2021 she exhibited two acculturation-related projects in Dublin: ‘On Belonging’ at The Library Project; and a digital commission for The LAB, Dublin, which was included in the screen service online exhibition. Very Root-y Ground debuted in October 2022 in Sofia Art Week Vol. 5 in Charta Gallery in Sofia, Bulgaria.
