About artist: Leanne McDonagh is an award-winning Irish artist. She is also a teacher and a member of the Travelling community who grew up on a halting site, with first-hand experience of the prejudices and misconceptions that society has about Travellers. As an artist she feels she has a unique opportunity to represent and record her community from within. She is currently working on a public sculpture funded by the Irish government - under the Percent for Art scheme. She has also illustrated a short story book, titled “Why the Moon Travels,” written by a fellow Traveller, Oein De Bhairduin, which is the first of its kind in Ireland and which is the recipient of many awards. Numerous pieces of her work were acquired by the Irish Museum of Modern art in 2020, and they now form a part of the National Collection of Ireland. Her work also features in both private and public collections, and since her debut in 2015 she has exhibited both nationally and internationally. Additionally, she also works as the Traveller education coordinator with Munster Technological University, and she is determined to use her life experiences, both positive and negative, for the benefit of present and prospective students from the Travelling community. She established the Traveller Graduate Network in 2019 and is also developing a work experience programme aimed specifically at members of the Travelling community.
