Dylan Tighe
Dylan Tighe’s debut album Record was released in February 2014 to widespread acclaim. The Sunday Times declared Dylan an “exquisite songwriter”, while RTÉ proclaimed the album "starkly brilliant” and “a deeply personal and deeply moving piece of work". The Irish Times described it as “brimming with tunes” and “an audacious and seriously intelligent suite of songs”, with the Irish Independent describing Dylan as “an artist to be reckoned with”. The album is available on vinyl, CD and download at www.dylantighe.bandcamp.com. Dylan also works as an actor and theatre-maker and directed the Irish Times Theatre Award-winning Best Production in 2010. His stage production based on songs from the album at Cork Midsummer Festival and Dublin Theatre Festival was described by the Irish independent as proposing "a new theatrical form for a new way of thinking". A radio version for RTÉ, featuring songs from the album and challenging a scientific view of mental health, was nominated for the Prix Europa prize 2014. He is currently working on material for his second album and a radio drama for RTÉ inspired by the work of Michael Hartnett.
John Nee
Little John Nee is a writer and performer based in the west of Ireland and is currently Theatre Artist in Residence at the Town Hall Theatre Galway.
Madelyn Medeiros
Madelyn Medeiros is an American harpist and composer who met Veronica on the Camino de Santiago in 2011. She has studied the folk harp with Regina Delaney, Maeve Gilchrist, and Arianna Savall, and has performed with the New England Irish Harp Orchestra. “Walking West” is a composition inspired by a journey on the Camino and the sights, sounds, and stories encountered along the way. It's also influenced by the rich musical history of Spain, including the Cantigas de Santa Maria, composed during the 13th-century reign of Alfonso X “El Sabio” (The Wise). Walking the Camino sent Madelyn down a new path in life, and she is grateful to share a part of that experience.
Pedro Vico
Pedro Vico is a CG artist born in Barcelona. He has worked for graphic design studios and video game companies in Spain and in the UK. His relationship with the Camino and its philosophy began when he was very young. In his most recent adventure, he met Veronica and many other friends who became “the family.” His work for HERE & NOW is inspired by the shared stories of many pilgrims, and attempts to capture the temporal and historic qualities of the Camino. When you are a pilgrim, your own history mixes with the histories of all of the pilgrims who have come before, and the ones who will come in the future. A wise person you will meet on the Camino says that the Camino is a “vacation for the soul.”
Conor Madden
Conor is from Clare. He has a girlfriend Zara, a dog Coco and loose morals.
Loyalty and solidarity are two sides of the same coin.
We do not live in a meritocracy. We live in a fuckocracy.
The world is not fair, it's nobodies fault.
Look up "Dunbars number."
It's just the way things are.. For now.
We don't need to change the world, we just need to change each other. X

Louis Haugh
Louis Haugh is a visual artist working and living in Dublin. As a graduate of the Photography program in IADT, Haugh's main focus centres on the photographic image as object, which often leads to installation and sculptural work. It is through these means that Haugh has arrived at an artistic conclusion to Veronica Dyas's work, 'Here & Now', displaying text in place of images and inviting visitors to take away images in place of text.

Lian Bell
I've been working in Dublin for over 10 years as an arts manager for organisations, festivals and independent artists. Recently I have begun rekindling my set design practice, which had taken a back seat over the past few years.
It's been a real treat to spend time with Veronica talking through her plans and ideas for Here & Now. Having the opportunity to be involved in the creative and collaborative practice that Veronica has been leading has reminded me of why I got involved in working in the arts in the first place. Her creative openness and dogged optimism combined with a endless reservoir of integrity has encouraged me to keep interrogating my own ideas and plans to make sure they ring true. Thanks Veronica for reminding me of the feeling of long-distance walking, and how it's worth the effort to bring that frame of mind into everyday life.
