Welcome to episode 14. In this episode we travelled to Kerrytown. It had been on the to do list for a while and on a beautiful sunny Sunday, we decided to go there. This podcast is something of a bonus episode. We met a woman there who agreed to tell me a story, to share her experience with me as long as I didn't ask for her name. I never did. This is her story.
For the Love of Mary is a podcast series that tracks my journey to finding the relationship between the Virgin Mary and the position of women in Ireland. It is told through the conversations and stories shared with some of the most amazing women on this island.
My practice as an artist is very much founded in the idea of gathering the stories of women and this project started with, wouldn’t it be great craic if… supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland SIAP award, I was able to travel to meet with women, research the ideas that came up in our conversations, document shrines, all with the view of getting to the bottom of why she’s so prevalent in Irish culture and create a new works of spoken word and poetry.
I had no script, no questions drafted, what you’re about to hear are all very much responsive conversations.
I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did.
