MUSEUM
Dragana Jurišić and Paula Meehan

Paula Meehan was invited by Dublin City Council to write an artistic response during the development phase of the 14 Henrietta Street museum. The following year Dragana Jurišić was invited to collaborate with and respond to Paula’s poetry and 14 Henrietta Street through a series of photographic artworks, which together form this new publication titled MUSEUM. ¹

Dragana Jurišić was born in Slavonski Brod, Croatia (then Yugoslavia). She is currently based in Dublin, Ireland. Jurišić won a number of awards and exhibited widely both in Ireland and abroad. In 2008, she completed a Masters’s in Fine Art at the University of Wales, Newport, receiving a distinction for her work. ²

Paula Meehan was born in 1955 in Dublin where she still lives. She studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and in the MFA programme at Eastern Washington University. Besides seven award-winning poetry collections, she has also written plays for both adults and children.
