The Kilkenny Traveller Community Movement are proud to present ‘Unfiltered – Kilkenny Traveller Lives in Focus’, a powerful photographic exhibition capturing the lived experiences, culture, and community of Travellers in Kilkenny over the past 15 years. The exhibition will exhibit images from renowned photographer, Gypsy Ray, as well as images from the personal archives of local contributors. This exhibition shines a light on moments of joy, strength, resilience, and everyday life, through the eyes of those who have lived it and those whom have documented it with care.
The official opening of the exhibition takes place at 1pm at the Mayfair library on Monday May 19th. The exhibition will run from May 19th through to May 24th.
