Description
The Map is a monumental textile sculpture that imagines and re-imagines the life, legacy, and mythology of Mary Magdalene and her impact on women’s lives. Sewn, hand-embroidered, and painted over a three-year period, the artists Alice Maher and Rachel Fallon approached the subject through the lens of the medieval Mappa Mundi, using elements of the cartographer’s practice as a device for their exploration. The Map addresses false narratives of the Magdalene, charting the social, political, and psychic changes that have loosened the knots of history in their own country, and traces an historical, mythological, and future cosmology that is fluid and full of possibility.
The Map was originally commissioned and curated by Maolíosa Boyle for The Magdalene Series at Dublin’s Rua Red. The theatre installation will be accompanied by “We Are The Map,” a text/soundscape by Sinéad Gleeson and Stephen Shannon.
