in 2023, riki was awarded the 2nd sample-studios cork midsummer festival award. In advance of presenting her multidisciplinary installations and pop-up performances at Cork Midsummer festival in June 2024, riki matsuda will engage in a focused residency in Triskel, exploring her materials, methodology and testing her ideas with triskel audiences.

Triskel Sample project space is a new partnership between triskel and sample-studios that will provide a visual arts project space for artist, especially emerging and mid-career artist, to test ideas and to develop new work that can be seen by the public. This offers tangible career development and audicne engagement opportunities to artists on their ‘home turf’ where they have a space space to develop new ideas, within which risk taking is possible.
