Mary Immaculate College to host FemFest
MIC FemFest will run from March 5 - 7
A BIANNUAL festival celebrating the contemporary and historical experiences and achievements of women will return to Mary Immaculate College (MIC).
MIC FemFest will run from March 5 - 7 with a programme of cultural events including literature, performance, visual art and more across both the Limerick and Thurles campuses.
Offering topical discussions, talks, readings, exhibitions, as well as live interviews, MIC FemFest 2024: Caithfear Éisteacht, is a collective effort by staff and students.
All events are free and open to the public, and for the first time this year, the festival is being extended to MIC’s Thurles campus.
Dr Fiona McDonagh, chair of MIC FemFest 2024 and MIC Drama and Theatre Studies lecturer, commented: “I’m delighted to see FemFest being extended to the Thurles Campus this year.
This has enabled the forging of new relationships and fostered increased collaboration across both campuses.
It also means that the reach of FemFest now extends beyond Limerick city and its environs into Tipperary.
