About
Amelia Caulfield is a socially engaged artist and filmmaker from Kilkenny based in Dublin. Her practice explores communication, relationality, and the social structures that shape how we connect with one another. Working across artist film, installation, participatory research, and social practice, Amelia is interested in the tensions between individual experience and connection, and in the often-complex ways people navigate intimacy, misunderstanding, and social expectations, especially through a lens of neurodivergence.
Amelia holds an MFA in Fine Art Media from NCAD, an MA in Social Practice from TUS, and a BA in Film and Documentary from ATU.
We Can Do This As Many Times As You Want (14 mins, 2026) is a film installation exploring communication, relationality, and social behaviour. Filmed across sites including monoculture landscapes and communication infrastructures, the work observes how interactions are shaped by invisible systems and social scripts designed to organise movement and exchange. Created through participatory and performative methods, the project stages repeated greetings, connectivity failures, and loosely choreographed encounters between strangers. The work draws on neurodivergent experiences of communication and an interest in divergent forms of interconnection which resist confinement or predictability. Through slow pacing, repetition, and subtle disruption, the film asks how we perform connection, and what forms of difference can be accommodated within shared social systems.
