Traveller women took part today (June 29th) in a bread making workshop as part of a NWCI event. Kneading and folding dough was used in the half-day workshop with Pavee Point’s Traveller Community Health Workers as a metaphor for women’s work and to discuss a feminist perspective on the folding and unfolding of time.
The women also talked about the contribution of women in culture and politics. Given the year that’s in it the project, which is facilitated with artists Maeve Collins and Julie Griffiths, examines the life of Constance Markievicz and asks – who would she be today? This is a touring event.
