Ormston House has partnered with STARLING to curate a programme of film and performance for International Women’s Day titled The Crone.
Drawing on the concept of the third self, the most powerful version of yourself —STARLING is inspired by The Crone as a state of wisdom and maturity through which to weave and transcend waves of multigenerational feminist and transfeminist thought.
The Crone is the one with the most experience in the world. She is free of societal and reproductive expectations, no longer defined by what she must produce or perform. She encompasses the human condition, because she’s endured it and rebirthed herself —arriving at a third, most powerful stage of life. We would like to invite you to join us in making contact with our inner Crones this International Women’s Day.
Join us at the Intersection on Saturday March 7th for a day-long programme spanning film, workshop and live performance. The programme brings together rarely seen works by Irish surrealist filmmaker Flora Kerrigan (active throughout the 1950s and 1960s) alongside films from No-Wave legend Vivienne Dick. We’re delighted to be joined by our friends Synthesize_Her and to welcome live performances from artists Shirani Bolle, Bea McMahon and Síoda.
