Na Cailleacha, from the Irish word ‘cailleach’ meaning a witch or a divine hag, want to explore what it means to be women who are getting older and arguably becoming invisible and to devise strategies to overcome the challenges of ageing. Their latest project is the School of Hibernia: a tableau vivant of Raphael's School of Athens with all the roles modelled by women.
Who's who in 2024. Centre stage is Mary "Plato" Robinson, Ireland's first female President (1990-1997) with Linda "Aristotle" Doyle, Trinity College Dublin's first female Provost (2021-2031). TCD's Geology Dept offered their Museum Building (1857) as venue.
Two minute YT explainer on the diversity and inclusion of the project. Watch on RTE for the YT-averse (with added explanatory text).
Who's who in 1511. Further to AzraelBrown's comment in the Parallel Lives thread, Raphael included contemporaries Michelangelo (Heraclitus) and Leonardo (Plato) as models.
