Exhibiting Bad Bridget | Irish Humanities Alliance β€˜With a saturated colour palette and a focus on poor emigrant women who often found themselves on the wrong side of the law, Bad Bridget lets visitors know loud and clear she is not like other exhibit...

As we near the celebration of St Brigid's Day, it seems appropriate to remind ourselves of Bad Bridget: crime, mayhem and the lives of Irish emigrant women by @elainefarrell.bsky.social & @leannemccormick.bsky.social - the subject of exhilarating exhibition

Lorna Gough, me, & @leannemccormick.bsky.social relaunched the Oughley Shed at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland last night... so it's now in the same building as the gay diaries & photo albums that provided the inspiration! It runs till February - plenty of time to get dockside & see!
