Description

On Sunday, 19th February at 4:30pm (Polish House) The Irish Polish Society invites you to the lecture with slides ‘On Opposite Sides: Constance & Casimir Markievicz in 1917’ by Patrick Quigley.

The year 1917 opened with the Markievicz couple divided by a continent at war. The 1916 Rising had been crushed and Constance was adjusting to life in Aylesbury Women's Prison. Her health deteriorated while her family debated whether they should campaign for better conditions. Casimir was recovering from his war injuries and painting and working with Polish theatre in Kiev. Around the same time Constance discovered art and poetry could help raise her spirits in the dark winter days. And then the Russian Revolution changed everything...

Admission free – all welcome!

Patrick Quigley is the author of ‘Sisters Against the Empire: Countess Markievicz & Eva Gore-Booth in 1916-17’ and ‘The Polish Irishman: the life and times of Casimir Markievicz’.

W niedzielę 19 lutego o godz.16:30 (Dom Polski), Towarzystwo Irlandzko-Polskie zaprasza na odczyt zatytułowany „Po przeciwnych stronach – Konstancja i Kazimierz Markiewiczowie w 1917 roku”. Odczyt ilustrowany slajdami wygłosi Patrick Quigley.

W początkach 1917 roku Konstancja znajduje się w angielskim więzieniu dla kobiet Aylesbury. Kazimierz wraca do zdrowia po ciężkich wojennych przeżyciach na froncie, maluje i działa w polskim teatrze w Kijowie.
Konstancja i Kazimierz są w opozycji pod względem poglądów politycznych i reakcji na gwałtowne zmiany zachodzące w Irlandii i w Polsce. Patrick Quigley spróbuje wyjaśnić dlaczego tak się stało...

Wstęp jest wolny i wszyscy mile widziani!

Patrick Quigley jest autorem powieści biograficznych ‘Sisters Against the Empire: Countess Markievicz & Eva Gore-Booth in 1916-17’ oraz ‘The Polish Irishman: the life and times of Casimir Markievicz’.
