This year’s Misleór Festival invites audiences into an evocative new exhibit that weaves together Traveller history, memory, and tradition. Reimagining Life on the Road: If Hazel Could Talk is the result of a unique collaboration between Galway Traveller Movement and Debbie Reilly for Misleór Festival, combining two celebrated projects into one immersive experience. At its heart stands a hand-crafted wattle tent, surrounded by evocative objects and traditions that recall life on the road. This exhibition is both a remembrance and a reimagining – a space where past and present meet, and where the voices of Traveller heritage continue to speak with strength and beauty. Step inside and listen: if hazel could talk, what stories would it tell?
