In Her Footsteps - Community Collage | Call for Submissions!
May 25, 2025
In honour of Mo Mowlam,
we are creating a collage called In Her Footsteps.
This collage of pictures of ordinary, everyday women in our community will pay tribute to the unsung heroes, past and present, who have shaped our values and made the world we live in a better place, such as our nurses, Irish mammies, nannies, and any woman who we find inspirational.
The collage will be on display at the Coventry Irish Society and will be unveiled at the Equal-i-tea
on 19 August 2025.
If you would like to contribute to the collage, then please could you send us a photograph together with the name of your nominated person and a short sentence or two on who they are and why they inspire you.
This will be quite a big project and therefore we will not be able to return photographs.
We would also ask that written consent is obtained from any living person to be featured in the collage.
Contributions can be handed to a member of staff in the office or emailed to: cis@covirishsoc.org.uk up and until 23 July 2025.
Coventry Irish Society is moving!
