We felt impassioned to create an audio production to let women know that their voices are being heard and to create allyship amongst men, it's called ‘I Believe Her’ and it deals with all that the patriarchy has been getting up to in 2021 and long before.
You may remember not too long ago we had a very difficult week that started with International Women's Day and ended with 'Mother's Day. Days designed to celebrate the wonderful females in our lives, to see how far we have come and look for even more equality going forward. But these joyful days were marred with tragedy and violence: the disappearance and death of Sarah Everard, Police brutality at a peaceful and safe vigil, Meghan Markle's Oprah Interview and the backlash that her feelings about her own mental health were false and closer to home in Belfast a beautiful artwork celebrating the female form was censored by a man, as he painted over the unpaid artwork Nuala Cnvery (@wee.nuls) had completed in three days. Well, just rereading that fills us with the same rage that was the start of this project. All of these events resurrected a national conversation about male violence and womens safety that we have heard too many times before.
We have had enough of inaction, of watching our cries fall on deaf ears, so this time instead of speaking out - we are letting you in, letting you inside the most inner thoughts of the female minds when they are experiencing what should be one of the most basic tasks in life - just walking home.
This all-female team has come together to raise their voice and use their artistic talents to make comment and create something we believe is beautifully strong.
