Admission Free | Booking Required
Today, over 100 billion new items of clothing are made every year, and in Ireland, clothing and textiles make up 9% of the waste that we throw away. Join curator Hannah Gallagher on a tour through the Folklife collections to find out what we can learn from the resilient women of the past, who clothed themselves and their families in harsh conditions.
Hannah Gallagher joined the Irish Folklife Division in 2025. She holds a degree in English and History from Queen’s University, Belfast, and an MA in Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies from Ulster University.
