Saoirse

Saoirse is an online study group series by Pádraigín O’Flynn (with the support of Hannah O’Flynn), organised by with the rubbles of old palaces. The group intends to share and understand a variety of transnational and cross-issue solidarities, both historic and current, in order to process how we can engage in such movements working towards collective liberation. From record-breaking protests to international courts, the call for transnational solidarities have been brought to the forefront in recent months as Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues to escalate. We have therefore considered it necessary to focus on the connection and interdependence between different liberation movements, and to look at their common histories and imagined futures. Saoirse, the title for this study group, stands for “freedom” in Gaelic.
