Daira Ronzoni
Duration
Daira Ronzoni is a multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow, born in Buenos Aires and raised in the UK. Her practice spans immersive installation, moving image, film, sound, painting, sculpture and video games, exploring ritual, ecology, ancestral memory and queer-Indigenous worldbuilding.
Influenced by her Indigenous Patagonian heritage and experiences of migration, her work combines physical objects and digital environments to create spaces where audiences can inhabit cycles of land, care and myth.
Recent projects include Labours of Love (Portsmouth Pride, 2025), which examined love and labour within queer communities; The Future We Breathe (WASPS, 2025), exploring climate justice and diasporic ecologies; and Cosmic Ch’ixi video game work commissioned by (New Media Scotland,2025). Daira is currently developing the film Gaucha, commissioned by Too Happy Studios with Forest of Black (2026).

Cryptic’s Artist Residency Programme, delivered in partnership with Cove Park, offers musicians and digital artists dedicated time, space and professional support to focus on creative research and experimentation. The residency prioritises artistic development over final outcomes, enabling artists to take creative risks, explore new directions and deepen their practice. Alongside independent research and development, participants engage with peers, exchange ideas and benefit from shared learning in a supportive, collaborative environment. This opportunity is vital for both artists and Cryptic, playing a key role in nurturing the next generation of creative talent.
Since 2012, Cryptic has curated this annual residency at Cove Park, supporting the development of over 90 UK and international artists working across music, sound and multimedia practice.
In 2026, this programme is supported by Creative Scotland, Creative Compass Georgia, PRS Foundation, British Council’s Connections Through Culture Grants, the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, Arts Council Malta and In Fine with support of the City of Geneva.
