To mark #BrigidsDay, a candle lit vigil for all children who died in the care of the state and religious orders, will take place outside Sean MacDermot Street former Magdalene laundry in Dublin on Wednesday 4th Feb 2026 at 6pm.

This intimate vigil will include performances by @deemulrooney, Laura Murphy, @lunatraktors , and @seanmulrooneymusic (Sean Seán Nunutzi).

There will also be speeches from survivors. Please bring a candle and join in support for this moving vigil. Artists who have created work in memory of the children who died are invited to please bring it along and feel free to discuss your work. Thanks to Alison O’ Reilly and team for co-creating this beautiful ceremony.

On #BrigidsDay 2021, #HerStory journeyed into the very heart of Ireland to help to heal the heartbreak of the #MotherAndBabyHomes scandal. Iconic buildings illuminated to witness and honour all who suffered in SOLAS, a pilgrimage of light co-created with @dodeca_ireland, @petermartinslens , @therachaelkeogh, @alisonbethoreilly, and #HerStory creative director Melanie Lynch.

From the shadows into the light, @athlonecastle, @belvederehousegardensandpark and former Mother & Baby Home Sean Ross Abbey, lit up with the names of all the children who died at Bessborough Mother & Baby Home, as captured in the @irish_examiner commemorative cover.

The once silenced and invisible survivors were made visible in powerful portraits by photographer Karen Morgan, their eyes revealing the depth of their humanity and courage.

At @galwaycitymuseum, an immersive arts performance of women dressed in white - their bodies illuminated with archival photographs of the children - performed a cathartic ceremony singing lullabies as they hung babies’ clothes on a washing line, reminiscent of the Magdalene Laundries where many women were sent after the Mother & Baby Homes.

A new feminine power was awoken in the Sovereignty project co-created by @myriamdelirium and @aineo_brien 🌀

Going back up on the wall in Clare... we didnt know the name of this piece done in the early noughties... until @aineo_brien working with me on the show in London found the name in one of Petes many notebooks. We thought how true... I think it might be Iran. by @aineo_brien
