“Gloak our Laces”

“Gloak our Laces” (meaning ‘look at us’), the project draws on themes of positive mental health and wellbeing. It is a tin-smithed copper art project involving Travellers from across counties Carlow and Kilkenny. Led out by artist Mary Cassidy, it was arranged by the HSE/South East Community Healthcare’s mental health services, with support from the HSE’s Social Inclusion Office nationally and the HSE’s mental health engagement and recovery office in the South East Community Healthcare area working in collaboration with Traveller Projects in counties Carlow and Kilkenny. The finished pieces are to feature as an exhibition at the Dept. of Psychiatry acute mental health inpatient facility located on the grounds of St. Luke’s General Hospital Carlow/Kilkenny.
