UPCOMING Event
Kerry Women in Literature
DATE
July 1st, 2025
Our new exhibition ‘Kerry Women in Literature’ which celebrate the powerful legacy of Kerry’s women writers is now open as part of our museum tour.
Funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport & Media under the Regional Museum Exhibitions Scheme, this vibrant multi-disciplinary brings long-overdue recognition to thirteen Kerry-born writers whose words, resistance, and creativity have resonated across generations. The exhibition features contemporary artwork which reimagines the work of five of the featured writers.
From the folkloric storytelling of Peig Sayers to the poetic power of Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill, the exhibition uncovers a lineage of women who wrote against the grain and under the radar—often in times when female voices struggled to be heard.
