We were delighted to have Eva and Irene join our workshop to stitch banners for our 16 days of activism campaign. Eva’s banner says, ‘Se Acabó’ which was said by Jenni Hermoso after the non-consensual kiss at the Women’s World Cup final. It means ‘it’s done / it’s over’. #seacabo

Mind you when it came to birth of her 4th child/daughter, me, all that she seems to have kept as a memento is draft of the ‘birth’ notice for The Irish Times, on the back of an old envelope, mid shopping list incl. 3 pairs of marigolds rubber gloves, small. 😠😂. #materialculture

⁦Scéal Heritage Consultancy⁩ ⁦Donna Gilligan⁩ brilliant workshop for ⁦Arts and Humanities Research Council⁩ ⁦Women's Grassroots Activism Research Network⁩ network Workshop at ⁦National Museum of Ireland⁩ led me to think about the material culture of my own family’s history & here are 3 items my mother kept from 1960 on birth of her first child.

& more lovely coincidence. My mum, who trained in institutional & catering management in 1950s Belfast, kept a copy of ESB Archives pamphlet, as Dr Sorcha O'Brien was discussing at our Women's Grassroots Activism Research Network workshop & highlighted by Scéal Heritage Consultancy Donna Gilligan as key to material culture of everyday life.

I am finding some lovely synchronicity between our Women's Grassroots Activism Research Network Arts and Humanities Research Council network & my own family history. After our workshop at National Museum of Ireland on Saturday I was going through some papers of my late mother Margaret & found this copy of Women’s Institutes of NI journal, Sept 1959. ❤️.

A sound that was probably quite common on the land.
