In Emily Square Athy, as part of our ISL Festival 2020, Athy sing and sign Club unveiled an exhibit of mannequins, representing strong, independent and inspirational women. This was in keeping with the theme of our festival this year, with our ISL booklet also featuring pages dedicated to women we admire.
Labelled PROUD, EMPOWERED, INSPIRED, INSPIRING, WOMAN & IS MISE ÉIRE, the mannequins were intended to each convey a different characteristic of women.
The figurines were painted by a talented Athy artist, Sean Prendergast. He painted Daisy Flowers onto the mannequins to represent women from the moment they are born – Innocence and purity, to blossoming through to motherhood.
Special thanks to Kildare County Council and CreativeIrl for funding this project
The unveiling on the night was followed by a light show in the square.
