A Girl's Writing Is Never Done (c) Shauna Gilligan 2025
A number of Margo McNulty’s stunning images, first published as part of our collaboration Mantles (Arlen House, 2021, now feature in Imbolc & Petrikovka, an exhibition in Strokestown Park. The exhibition runs until 26th February and also features work by Frances Crowe, Lea Farrell and Olena Kovalevych.
For more details please visit The National Famine Museum, Strokestown Park.
This year I was awarded a Creative Ireland Bursary (Kildare County Council) with Margo McNulty (Roscommon County Council), to work on our collaboration Mantles which explored Brigid through place, symbols, artefacts and heritage.
On Tuesday October 5th at 2pm, Margo and I talk with Clodagh Doyle (Keeper, Irish Folklife Division, National Museum of Ireland), about our extensive research including the use of public archives and artefacts, and our image and word making. Margo will discuss some of her images in detail and I will give two short readings from my writing on Brigid.
