triarchal social structures, inequality and injustices towards women and marginalised individuals and social groups. Through an experimental and multidisciplinary praxis we generate creative ways of revealing these biases whilst actively working towards initiating new processes within institutional and organisational social practices that can enable empowerment, autonomy and social solidarity. Areas of work include workshop facilitation, consultation, artistic interventions and creative collaborative community projects. Current projects include: Theatrical performance and exhibition in collaboration with OSS Domestic Violence Centre and Cuanlee refuge Cork. We produce a quarterly zine that includes a space for public critical response and reflection. The zine is understood within the historical context of zines having been an affordable method of disseminating the voice of the counter-culture, particularly by feminist movements such as the suffragettes, workers unions and political groups.

Imagine the gumption it’d take to pass on the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.

Elvis Presley wanted to record Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You,” and Dolly was thrilled by the possibility.

Then, on the eve of the recording session, his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, delivered the condition: Elvis would need at least half of the song’s publishing. Dolly declined.

The choice broke her heart. She later recalled crying all night while friends insisted she was crazy to let an Elvis recording slip away.

Yet Dolly had already built her own publishing company, and the song had reached No. 1.

She understood that a glamorous opportunity could still come with a rotten deal — and rhinestones have never blocked a woman’s view of the fine print.

Years later, Whitney Houston transformed the song into a global phenomenon.

Because Dolly had protected her ownership, she received the financial rewards generated by one of the bestselling singles in music history.

With her signature humor, she joked that Whitney’s version made her enough money to buy Graceland.

That story captures so much of Dolly: tenderhearted, ambitious, generous, shrewd and entirely capable of making the difficult call while everyone around her questioned it.

She could adore Elvis, dream of hearing him sing her work and still safeguard what she had created.

Women are regularly encouraged to accept prestige in place of fair compensation.
We’re told exposure is priceless, proximity is payment and gratitude should soften our negotiating position.

Dolly read the contract, trusted herself and kept control of the asset. May every woman approach her next negotiation with Dolly’s instincts, Dolly’s backbone and enough hairspray to reach heaven. 💖

💔 Struggling to find the words, yet again, to let you know that another woman has been killed this year.

Jady Cristine Pereira Rosa was from Brazil and lived in Limerick. Our hearts are today with her, and with her loved ones, for whom her loss will be immeasurable.

Every woman deserves to live free from violence and abuse.

🖤
