Still, We Work Exhibition “gives value to the work women do”

Published: Tuesday, October 22, 2013

Still We Work, NWCI's Legacy Project, runs at the Gallery of Photography, Dublin, until October 26th. It will be at the 126 Gallery, Galway, from November 9th to 24th.

The exhibition was opened by Aine Lawlor on Friday October 18th to rave reviews, with Kitty Holland of the Irish Times saying that "‘Still We Work’ exhibition examines the seen and unseen contribution of women to all levels of society."

Four artists will showcase their work, reflecting on contemporary representations of women’s work in the context of the centenary of the 1913 Dublin Lockout. They have responded by making new works addressing women’s experience of precarious contemporary working conditions and the invisibility of much of ‘women’s work’.

The artists featured are Miriam O’Connor, Sarah Browne, Anne Tallentire and Ailbhe Murphy and Ciaran Smyth of Vagabond Reviews. The Legacy Project is curated by Valerie Connor.
