Irish Traveller Ethnicity Day/Week Events with Mincéirs Whiden Society
- Historic Painting & Plaque Unveiling – Monday the 28th of February at 9:30 am. Come and join us in the Foyer of Áras na Mac Léinn as Mincéirs Whiden Society and Comhaltas na Mac Léinn unveils a Historic Painting by an Irish Traveller Artist. This will be a permanent painting within the university. In addition to this, we will unveil our historic chairpersons’ plaque in honour of being the first Irish Traveller University Society in Ireland. We would like to thank all in NUI Galway and beyond who made this possible.
- Honourary Life Member Announcement Monday the 28th of February at 11 am-12. Mincéirs Whiden Society is proud to say an Honourary Life Member of our Society will be announced during NUI Galway’s Opening Ceremony of Irish Traveller Ethnicity Day and will be presented with an award by the dean of students, Professor Michelle Millar.
- Stilt Walkers & Flag Raising with President of Ireland Monday the 28th of February at 12 – 1 pm. Our Society is proud to host Irish Traveller Stilt Walkers at NUI Galway in Celebration of our people. We will also raise our Flag at the Quadrangle of NUI Galway with VIP special guests. Our society feels it is very important to incorporate the new way of the young Irish Traveller People with the old way of our culture. They will be dressed in the way the old Irish Traveller Women dressed in past times. As part of these celebrations, we will also have beady pockets. These tell a story of the Irish Traveller women who travelled the length and breadth of Ireland and decorated the aprons in different coloured buttons (each of which would typically tell a story of a dear loved one). The society will also be gifted a beady pocket by Gleandor Anthery, a voluntary organisation. We hope you will join us for this gathering.
- Mincéirs Misl’d in Education: Irish Traveller Living Exhibition Monday the 28th February from 10 am to 4 pm. Location: Outside Áras na Mac Léinn. The scene includes a fully restored Barrel Top Wagon, a traditional tent, a flat cart, working tin-smith, storytelling Traveller woman and of course, a camp-fire. We hope that this Living History Project will give groups an appreciation of Irish Traveller culture and bring a vital part of our history back to life.
