77 Women Commemorative Quilt

The 77 Women Commemoration Quilt project is designed to create a conversation between the women of 1916 and women living in Ireland today. A group of 77 women were invited to creatively respond to the stories of the 77 women imprisoned in Richmond Barracks . This group was selected to reflect the diversity of women’s experience in contemporary Ireland. The two layers of stories, those from 100 years ago and those of our own time have been brought together in a Quilt which was unveiled as part of the commemoration ceremony for the women of 1916 on the 8th March 2016.
