Born in Belfast, raised by two parents who grew up during The Troubles in Ireland, O'Hagan's work is deeply rooted in socio-political issues within the UK, exploring the relationship between art, curation and activism. Her practice focuses on uplifting marginalised voices through photographic mediums and printmaking techniques, alongside researching and applying inclusive curatorial practices within the UK's heteronormative art sector.

Additionally, coinciding with the importance of inclusive artistic practices and exhibition organisation, reviewing how creative practitioners have engaged in queer and feminist perpsectives.
