Gaelic

Tha Déirdre Ní Mhathúna na neach-ealain a tha an t-saothair ag amas air cultar na Gàidhlig, a’ cleachdadh caochladh mheadhanan. Le ceum ann an snaigheadaireachd agus eòlas farsaing ann an tèatar aice, tha i air a bhith ag obair le coimhearsnachdan anns a’ Ghàidhealtachd bho 2006 a-nall. Tha Déirdre an sàs ann an ealain air mhuinntireas, a’ stiùireadh fhilmichean agus a’ rannsachadh aithris-bheòil gus sealladh Gàidhlig a thoirt dhan ealain aice. Agus i stèidhichte ann an Alba, tha i a’ faireachdainn ceangailte gu dlùth ri tìr nan Gàidheal. Am measg a cuid phròiseactan tha Buaile 2025, taisbeanadh luchd-ealain air am brosnachadh le cànan is cultar na Gàidhlig, agus Bàta nan Salm ag obair le Gàidheil Leòdhais.   

Às aonais Gàidhlig, tha mi den bheachd nach biodh doimhneachd no susbaint gu leòr anns an obair-ealain agam.” – Déirdre Ní Mhathúna
