Professor Willie Doherty holds the position of Professor of Video Art at the Belfast School of Art, part of Ulster University. His work interrogates historical memory through site-specific video installations and photographic diptychs, often focusing on Northern Ireland's socio-political landscape and its connections to broader Irish independence narratives.
- Key research areas: Video Art, Sound Art, Historical Memory
- Recent projects examine material residues of conflict and commemorative practices
- Exhibited internationally including Kerlin Gallery (Ireland) and DePont Museum (Netherlands)
Doherty's 2016 Loose Ends series explored dual locations tied to the 1916 Easter Rising through immersive dual-screen installations. His artistic methodology combines slow-motion cinematography with poetic voiceovers to investigate temporal decay and forgotten histories.
Technical expertise includes moving image preservation and digital archiving, with works entering permanent collections at ACI and DePont Museum. Current research extends into transnational memory studies through installations like Where / Dove: Solo Exhibition (2020) and Without Trace (2021).
