19 to 28 October
An exhibition of portraits by Mike Stone taking pace at the Johnston Centre Library, Cavan.
This exhibition is a unique collection of Portraits of Traveller men, women and children. It is part of the work of the Extern Travller Network raising awareness on Mental Health in the Travller Community.
Ita Madden, co-ordinator of the Extern Traveller Network works with the community. Ita speaking about the exhibition says ” this is an important exhibition because the Traveller Community allowed Mike Stone to capture them in their homes, with their families and experience the reality of their lives. I am very grateful to the families who gave us that access. I really hope that people come along to see this work. It was a great pleasure for me to work with Mike Stone on this exhibition and I have for many years worked to build confidence with members of the Traveller Community and I am grateful for their enthusiasm for this work.”
This exhibition is available to tour and contacts can be made with Ita Madden through the Extern Traveller Network.
