Spent today in the National Library reading through the archive of Nannie Dryhurst (1856-1930), a turn-of-the-century Irish anarchist whose “great cause” was Georgian independence.

This Saturday (5th Nov) at the Ulster Folk Museum I will be doing a participatory workshop on how we trace early 20th century Irish queer lives.

If you are around Belfast on 28 October, join me at the QUB Public History Seminar for my talk "Elisa and Joyce: An Irish Jewish Queer Communist Love Story".

Valeria O’Connor (Валерія Олександрівна О’Коннор-Вілінська, 1866-1930) was a Ukrainian nationalist writer of Irish descent and a member of the Ukrainian Rada from 1917 until 1919, when she fled to Vienna with her husband after the Red Army entered Kyiv. Her Irish born grandfather Alexander O’Connor married into Ukrainian nobility in the early 19th century. Valeria’s sister Olga was a founding figure in the Ukrainian National Opera and a friend of the Ukrainian national writer Lesya Ukrainka.

I’ve finally returned to Irish lessons after more than a decade away from the classroom. Time to decolonise… myself.

A year ago I received an email from documentary filmmaker Immy Humes, who was working on an art book for @phaidonpress called The Only Woman.
