Episode notes

As we approach International Women’s Day, we discuss the Roses From The Heart project which explores the stories of women and young girls forcibly transported to Australia from places like Ireland in the 18th and 19th centuries. Artist Dr. Christina Henri describes how her project came about and the impact it has had over its 20 year life span. Christina was in Waterford to link up with partners in SETU and the wider community in Waterford.
