The Workman's Club

To celebrate Imbolc/St. Bríd’s Day, QÉIRE is hosting a new event - ‘Unburying Bríd: Performances inspired by colonial/religious erasure and queer resistance.’ The event will take place Wednesday, 1st February 7-8:30 pm in the Vintage Room, upstairs at Workman&#x27;s. Our line-up includes poetry, music, storytelling and more, and we’re really excited for you all to see. Regrettably, this event is only accessible by stairs, but we will be live-streaming the event for those unable to attend in person.Get your free tickets here, and come, toast Bríd, Imbolc, and the beginning of Spring!****MORE ABOUT IMBOLC/BRÍD:Imbolc is the second festival of the Celtic season after Samhain as Celtic philosophy told that light must always follow dark. It marks the start of Spring and the harvest season and Imbolc/bolg translates to ‘in the belly.’Originally, a pre-Christian goddess, over time Bríd was claimed as a Christian saint.From 2023, St Bríd’s Day will be celebrated as a public holiday in Ireland thanks to the Herstory campaign.She is known as the ‘mother of Ireland’ and was worshipped by the Filid (a class of poets and historians in Celtic Ireland and Britain.)She is a patroness of poetry, healing, and learning. To celebrate her, leave a piece of cloth (Bratóg Bhríde) outside your home to be blessed, or wear white flowers in your hair.Her feast day is shared with Darlughdach, who was her companion, student, successor,and possible lover.*﻿***Image description: An orange background with eight naked blue Celtic-style figures.
