I know many Mincéirí / Travellers have been frustrated by the most recent census - as while many, though no where enough of us, have a sense of space and lore of location, many are just not recorded.
Delighted to find this ancestor and kin:

This is a call to be a witness.
Among others ‘The Quiet Between Two Texts’, a glimpse between the Irish Constitution & the 1963 Report of the Commission on Itinerancy - a text largely unknown outside of those that have felt it's serrated teeth.
Temple Bar Gallery 4pm tomorrow x
ALT mages are from ‘State, in Relation’ and ‘Omitted Provisions’, two creative outpourings from a collective literature project currently @Dublinartbookfair @Templebargalleryandstudios. It has been utterly thrilling to work with @sonya.gildea @annemarienichurreain @nathanhughodonnell @clare__bell @susan_tomaselli and @nithykasa. Installation is in place until tomorrow - panel and presentation tomorrow at 4. The @artscouncilireland have been pretty tome too with supporting it all!

Got to spend yesterday with the Balbriggan Travellers Project working on the Tinsmith Apprenticeship Programme - a wonderful experience forging tools that will be used in the next phase of the Tinsmith course with master Tinsmith James Collins
A hammer for the collection too!

Tonight I was blessed to launch an exhibition in Trinity’s Long Room.
Its shelves are empty for restoration, but now filled with books made by Traveller children.
For now, one of the world’s great libraries holds only their voices x

I grew up with ‘Old Edward’, even in his late 70s he loved learning new Traveller words:
“Three days after, I’d think of each word… it’s wonderful.”
Every story, recording, text is a sacred gift xxx

Scottish First Minister John Swinney formally apologising to G/R/T communities for the 'Tinker Experiments' (1940–1980) that took uncountable number of children into care to force “integration.” Thousands of others placed in substandard, degrading housing.
