Interwoven: Irish Ancestry in Diaspora

Sunday, October 29, 2023

3:00 - 5:00 PM

with Maebh Aguilar

An exploration into what it means to hold Irish ancestry in the wake of colonialism. Who is really Irish? This knowledge share is an invitation to people of color with Irish ancestry who wish to explore their Irish heritage and to be centered in conversation surrounding Irish identity. Using thematic ancestral foods, plants, and animals from Ireland as guiding stars -- we will explore Irish history, socio-political context surrounding modern Irish identity, overlapping identities and foodways, solidarity movements between Irish people and global marginalized communities, and connections to land. Participants of all backgrounds are welcome.
