Episode 3: Art as Action

How did women in the Republic of Ireland mobilise to address their exclusion from exhibitions and from art history? What were the issues that put Irish feminists in tension with British feminists? And how did artists bring their creativity to bear in the campaign to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution and liberalise the abortion laws?  In this episode, Tina Kinsella explores interviews in the Feminist Art making Histories archive with women operating in the Republic of Ireland. Tina Kinsella is Head of Research at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire (IADT). She’s also the Irish principal investigator on the Feminist Art Making Histories team.  Featuring edited clips from interviews with Catherine Marshall, Geraldine O’Reilly, Cecily Brennan, Louise Walsh, Fionna Barber, Pauline Cummins, Patricia McKenna and Alice Maher.    Produced by Rosie Oliver – www.rosieoliver.co.uk   Follow us on Instagram - @feministartlives  Find out about the Feminist Art Making Histories project via www.famh.art    Explore the Feminist Art Making Histories archive via the Digital Repository of Ireland https://repository.dri.ie/objects/4742q334c/doi/4742q334c
