‘Mary, Mary’ Exhibition Visits Kilkee
Clare County Council’s Arts Office, in conjunction with Cultúrlann Sweeney Library Gallery, present ‘Mary, Mary’, an exhibition by Mary Musgrove.
Previously shown at the London Irish Centre in Camden, London, the ‘Mary, Mary’ exhibition is in Cultúrlann Sweeney in Kilkee through November 29, 2025.
‘Mary, Mary’ is set during the period of 1921 to 1998, a time when the Catholic Church had significant influence in Irish society.
Mary has used therapeutic photography to express a semi-autobiographical account of her own family's generational trauma. This project researches the story of Mary's mother Teresa and her stolen sister, ‘Mary’, in a journey of understanding and forgiveness. Mary focuses on the Irish landscape, on which many families were destroyed, leading to the largest diaspora of Irish people across the world, many of whom have never fully recovered or returned to their homeland.
‘Mary, Mary’ is a photovoice project for victims and survivors of the mother and baby homes scandal.
