A marginalised group appropriating a once-derogatory term is nothing new. LGBT movements have done it, some racial groups have done it. Now, it seems, it’s the turn of old women.
A new arts collective, made up of eight female artists based in Ireland with a combined professional practice of over 550 years, has adopted the name Na Cailleacha: the Irish word for hags or witches.
SHARING OPTIONS:
Six of the Na Cailleacha women are artists, one is a musician and another is an art writer and curator.
The experiences of older women will be explored in a new exhibition and accompanying symposium (an informal conference) coming to the South Tipperary Arts Centre (STAC) in May.
The exhibition is the work of Na Cailleacha (The Witches), a collective of eight older, creative women.
They are all based in Ireland, but come from Holland, England and Switzerland, as well as Ireland.
