Star Weaving Exhibition in Tralee Library

From April 17th until April 30th in Tralee Library there will be an exhibition of weaved stars made by various community groups and individuals in the County of Kerry for the One Million Stars Ireland project, which was brought to Ireland in 2019 by Siobhan McQuillan, project lead, working with Amber Women’s Refuge in Kilkenny.

Rebecca Lyons who became the co-ordinator for the project in Kerry in 2022 has reached out to the community and people of Kerry to get involved. This exhibition is an installation of the stars weaved so far in Kerry and will continue to grow after too. Each 8-pointed star represents light, hope, courage, and solidarity against all forms of violence. She would like to thank Adapt Women’s Refuge, Kerry Travellers Health Community Development Project, Jigsaw Kerry, Phoenix Women’s Centre and Shed, St. Brigid’s Secondary School Killarney, Kerry Volunteer Centre, Liz Browne (Artist) and all those who have expressed an interest in becoming involved in the future. The official opening of the exhibition took place last night on April 20th in Tralee Library at 6pm
