Day 2 #Museum30 'Who am I?' Homesick Mancunian, misses being silly in museums and pints after work, wishes the world was a lot kinder, feminist, vegan cheesemaker, wears a lot of shorts, exhausted but hopeful, #TransRightsAreHumanRights, #BlackLivesMatter, #EndDirectProvision

Day 3 #Museum30 'Scribble' May '19 National Gallery of Ireland. Brilliant event created by TY work experience students.They came up with the idea & flawlessly delivered the event. I had to source the giant sheet of perspex. Didn't measure up to see if it could get in the building. Got very lucky!

Day 4 #Museum30 'Button' I had the best time working @PHMMcr and LOVED their badge collection. All these badges are from the collection of one person and show all the causes that she was passionate about: Gay rights, anti war, anti fascism & women's rights ✊

Day 5 #Museum30 'Display' My brilliant colleagues have been working for months on Something From There,a project created with people living or formerly living in Direct Provision, exploring the idea of home. This powerful display will open soon National Gallery of Ireland nationalgallery.ie/art-and-artist…

Day 6 #Museum30 'Support' Since I moved to Ireland the Education Team National Gallery of Ireland have been my absolute heroes. So welcoming, supportive and great craic! I miss sharing an office with them and seeing them every day!

Day 7 #Museum30 'Woodland' Loved collaborating last year with Russborough House & Park & Northern Ireland Forest School Association for Forest School Teacher CPD. Learning in nature is so important, fun and beneficial to mental wellbeing

Day 8 #Museum30 'Safety' Safety feels so precarious at the moment. I've just signed up as an Ally of @our_MoH to support the grassroots, practical and creative work they do tackling homelessness and housing inequality.

This uplifting video captures a special collaborative project that we were involved in to mark the centenary of the Oratory in Dun Laoghaire - watch back to see how the mural created by artist Mags Harnett and the Dominican Primary School came about! ❤️ youtu.be/Dl06oJSGUeE

Day 9 #Museum30 'Utensil' Working from home has meant being able to cook a decent breakfast every morning. Today's was scrambled tofu and Spinach on toast ☺️

Day 10 & Day 11 #Museum30 'Narrative' 'First' Been facilitating an incredible group who are curating the first ever exhibition of Ireland's national art collection by young people, for young people. They've been having a lot of discussions about tearing down narratives ✊
