Women of Donegal & Celebrating Irish Women

Women of Donegal | Christina McBride
Greater Govanhill Window, 82 Bowman St, Glasgow
Saturday 8th March 7pm

Women of Donegal is a simultaneous outdoor projection in Glasgow and Donegal on International Women’s Day.  It uses archival photographs, part of the Glasgow/Gaoth Dobhair archive, which focus on the history and experiences of women from Donegal who migrated to Scotland in search of work. The event connects Buncrana where many had to leave, with Govanhill, where many chose to settle. In partnership with Greater Govanhill and Artlink Fort Dunree, Donegal.
