‘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. We can choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
For IWD 2021 we have gathered a group of women who choose to challenge.
Each is a farmer, working on a farm of differing scale and size.
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.

Who would have thought that gardening and farming would become such radical acts? Radical is a beautiful term that comes from the Latin word ‘radix’, meaning to get to the root of something. When we grow food, we get to the root of some of the fundamental issues in our society. By digging deep, we uproot systems that do not serve us. By nurturing the soil, we create the potential for new beginnings. Planting a seed is a radical act of trust, a declaration that you believe in the future. The whole cycle of gardening with nature is life enhancing.
