Crowning Pride

at

To celebrate Traveller Pride Week, June 8-12.

Mayo-based artist and musician Breda Maycock writes:

I’m working with the women in the Mayo Traveller Support Group on a project called Crown- Hair & Identity in Traveller Culture. It’s an exploration of the customs, identity and adornment of hair in the culture. I put this video together with photographs from the project for Traveller Pride Week.

    Funded by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht as well as Mayo County Council. Well that was money well spent.

    Good for them

    In all fairness there are plenty of lads calling themselves Artists
    some in this parish
    It must be said
    That claim artistic merit and have been known to make demands for artistic credibility for a lot less than this project

    Good luck with it Breda
