Karen Cox is an award-winning photographer who works both in Ireland and internationally. Her work spans documentary photography and photojournalism to record both known and untold visual narratives.
For this exhibition Cox documents the harsh lives and challenges of the women of the Thar Desert in India. Nothing is easy yet these women show incredible courage and resilience to survive their inhospitable environment. Extreme temperatures, distances to water supplies, access to food, education and medical care continue to be daily constant obstacles.
There will be a free talk with Karen Cox on 'Women of the Thar Desert' on Saturday, 20 July, from 2-3 pm.
