‘Women Artists and Farmers’ Webinar with Limerick City Gallery Of Art at 2pm on #iwd 8th March #choosetochallenge. Running in conjunction with the new exhibition by Mary Burke #athomeontehfarm
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequity.

Each of these women shows a deep commitment to the land, the places in which they live and the fragile ecosystems which support all of us who share the planet.
Each is continually adapting her practice.
