What role has the arts in recovering this past? A discussion between the artists Sinead McCann, Ethna Rose O’Regan, Evelyn Glynn and Alison Lowry.

Just to note: 

Dublin City Council are aware of the sensitivities of this exhibition and its connection to the Magdalene Laundries. The historical suffering of those who worked in laundries has been well documented and is the subject of programmes of recovery and redress.

During this exhibition at The Lab, the artists involved and Dublin City Council staff at the Lab will be sensitive to and supportive of any patron who may find the exhibit or experience distressing in any way.
