TY student Caoilinn White explains what was involved in this community art project.
Our class collaborated with the lead planner for events at the barracks in Rathmines. She showed us a list of female artists to help inspire us to do an art piece for International Women's Day. We all made stuff in animation, paint, sculpture and photography.

We all enjoyed listening to each other speaking about our pieces and the local innovators in feminism.
