Seeds of Change – The Story of Women in Agriculture

“Seeds of Change” honours women in agriculture and all of the hard work that they have done throughout the years. It draws attention to the effort that women have done and continue to do to support farms, despite the many challenges and discrimination they continue to encounter. By delving into the experiences of women in agriculture, “Seed of Change” exposes the resilience and innovation required to thrive in this traditionally male-dominated industry. It amplifies their voices, providing a platform to share their stories, struggles, and triumphs. Through the lens of these interviews, readers gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of women’s roles in agriculture, from managing households to leading farm operations. Their insights illuminate the interconnectedness of gender, agriculture, and sustainable development, inspiring readers to acknowledge and appreciate the invaluable contributions of women farmers worldwide. This book serves not only as a tribute to women in agriculture but also as a catalyst for broader conversations surrounding gender equality and rural development. It challenges prevailing narratives and underscores the urgent need for collective action to empower women farmers and create a more equitable agricultural landscape.

Welcome

We formally welcome you to ‘FLUX’, the Limerick School of Art & Design Graduate Show of 2018 featuring the work of final year LSAD Graduates from Painting, Photography Film Video, Print Contemporary Practice, Sculpture & Combined Media, Ceramic Design, Fashion Design, Fashion Knit & Textiles and Graphic Design Communication.

The journey of a graduate of Limerick School of Art and Design is a deep experience of the self and ideas. An immersive collective engagement where individuality and creativity are celebrated. The strength of Art School is that all students in their multiplicity and experiences can join this collective journey of exploration across the various fine art and design disciplines. The graduate show is a wonderful moment for presentation of this journey and celebration.

The importance of having this safe space of discovery is as important to the recent school leaver as to the mature student who has found the means and the moment to return to study and pursue a dream that has been harboured for many years.

For LSAD students, Limerick city and its growing cultural confidence becomes part of this engagement. This year we welcome the beginning of a new creative industry here in Limerick, with the opening of Troy Studios, the largest film studios in Ireland. We hear of the many LSAD graduates who have been immersed in the first ongoing production ‘Nightflyers’ and the vast array of creative skills and inputs that are required and the possibilities that are opening up in the region. Many of our graduates will seek new challenges elsewhere, however we also hope that many stay or return to this region so that their enterprise and creativity will further impact and enrich our environment.
