Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Eimear Walshe i ke Komisina Margaret Cousins e Roscommon County Council, i kālā ʻia e Creative Ireland, e "hoʻolauleʻa a hoʻomanaʻo i ko mākou mau makaʻāinana kupaianaha ma o nā papahana kiʻi kiʻi kūʻokoʻa a manaʻo ʻole ʻia"1. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Margaret ('Gretta') Cousins (1878 - 1954), theosophist, nationalist and suffragist, ma Boyle, County Roscommon. Ua loaʻa i ke komisina o Eimear kahi pāʻani lekiō, Ua ʻike wau i ke kumu e uwē ai nā wahine i ka male ʻana, a me kahi puke kākoʻo, Gretta. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka paʻi ʻana, a me kahi hoʻokani immersive ola o ka pāʻani lekiō, ma ka mōʻaukala King House, Boyle, i ʻAukake 2019. E loaʻa ka paʻi ma ka Dublin Art Book Fair ma Temple Bar Gallery + Studios (21 Nowemapa - 1. Kekemapa).
Lily Cahill: He mea pena kiʻi hoʻopaʻi keʻa ʻoe e hana ana i ke kiʻi kiʻi, paʻi puke, hana a me nā haʻiʻōlelo. ʻO ka manawa hea ka maikaʻi o ke kālai ʻana a i ka manawa hea e kūpono ai ke kamaʻilio? He aha ke ʻano o nā papahana e kuhikuhi i kekahi ʻano pane?
Eimear Walshe: Loaʻa iaʻu nā pilina like ʻole me kēia mau mea a pau, a ke hoʻāʻo nei paha wau e hāʻawi ʻole i kekahi o ia mau pilina i ke kūlana mua a i ʻole ke aloha iā lākou. Hiki ke leʻaleʻa, hoʻoweliweli, hoʻokaʻawale, hoʻohuli, hoʻopololei. He pipiʻi maʻamau ke kiʻi ʻana akā ʻoluʻolu loa i ka nānā ʻana i nā poʻe e launa pū me. ʻO ka paʻi ʻana, ʻoi aku ma ka pūnaewele, he mea hoʻohiwahiwa a hauʻoli no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike inā e hana ʻoe i kahi pilina hohonu ʻole, a i ʻole doxxed. ʻO ke ʻano o ka hālāwai āu e hana ai, ʻo ia ka hopena o ka manaʻo e pili ana i kāu mau mea nui i kēia manawa, he aha nā kumuwaiwai i loaʻa, kahi e hele ai ka hana, a me ke ʻano o ka ʻike e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hana a lawe paha i kahi manawa i hāʻawi ʻia. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ke aʻo ʻana i kekahi mea ma ke ala he mea nui ia.
No laila, no kēia komisina me Roscommon Arts Center, i hoʻoponopono ʻia e Linda Shevlin, e hana ana ma o ka lekiō a me ka paʻi ʻana i mea kūpono ma muli o nā ʻano o ka hoʻolaha kūloko a me nā hālāwai pili a lākou e ʻae ai. ʻO wau a me Margaret Cousins he mau 'kamaʻilio' nui. A he ʻano phantasmic ka lekiō. Ua like ia me ke ala kūpono e kākau a hōʻike i kahi kamaʻilio ma waena oʻu a me kahi kanaka mōʻaukala i hala aku nei, a ʻae i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e hoʻolohe.
LC: Pehea ka koʻikoʻi o ka laulima ʻana i nā ʻano hana o kāu hana?
EW: No ka hāʻawi ʻana iā ʻoe i ka manaʻo o kāna kuleana ma kēia papahana, ua kākau mua koʻu kupuna wahine ʻo Maisie Gately i kahi kikokikona e pili ana i ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka male ma Roscommon ma mua o 1950, a me Dyuti Chakravarty - ka mea e hana ana ma kahi PhD e pili ana i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i nā wahine ma India a ʻIlelani - ua kākau ʻo ia i kahi haʻawina hoʻonaʻauao hou aʻe o kā Margaret Cousin politika politika. He mea hoʻoikaika nui kēia no kaʻu haʻawina i kākau ʻia i ka papahana, kahi pāʻani lekiō e hana ana i kahi kamaʻilio ma ka haʻi ʻana mai kā Margaret Cousin kākau ponoʻī, kahi e hoʻāʻo ʻia ai kona mau manaʻo i kēia manawa.
A laila, i loko o ka lekiō, ua hana au me ʻekolu mau mea hoʻokani ʻē aʻe - ʻo Holly Moore, ʻo Phoebe Moore a me Ailbhe Wakefield Drohan - ma ke ʻano he Margaret Cousins, koʻu kupunawahine interjecting, a me ka moʻolelo. Ua hauʻoli nō hoʻi au i ka hana pū me ka mea hoʻolālā leo ʻo Christopher Steenson no nā mana ola a me ka lekiō o ka pāʻani, ʻo ka mea hoʻolālā kiʻi ʻo Paul Guinan, nāna i hoʻolālā i ka puke, a me Sinead Kennedy, nāna i hoʻokani i ka helu ola ma ka pila no ka hana ma ka Hale Moi. No laila palekana ka ʻōlelo ʻana, ʻaʻole e ola ka papahana me ka ʻole o kēia mau hoa hana akamai.
LC: He aha ka mea i alakaʻi iā ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i ka male ma ka pāʻani, ma o ka hōʻike ʻana i nā manaʻo waihona waihona o Gretta e pili ana i kēia mea, a me kāu ponoʻī - ʻo ia "pono e pāpā ʻia ka male ma mua o ka hoʻoikaika ʻana. Inā pono ʻoe e mare, pono ʻoe e hele i ka hale paʻahao no ia mea!2?
EW: ʻO ka pilikanaka, ka hoʻokele waiwai, ka hana, ka naʻau, ka moekolohe a me ka politika kūloko o ka male e huki mai i nā pilikia he nui noʻu. Akā, ke manaʻo nei au ua mālama au i ke ʻano 'Myself' i ka pāʻani e like me kaʻu i mālama ai i ke ʻano o Margaret, me ka haʻi pololei ʻana i kā mākou mau kālai'āina koʻikoʻi loa, akā ma ka hoʻolālā, e hana i nā manawa o ka dissonance a me ka ʻae. Ua ʻoi aku ka naʻauao a me ka ʻike, akā ua loaʻa iaʻu ka pōmaikaʻi o ka nānā ʻana, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke ola ʻana. No laila, he mea nui ia e hana naʻaupō iaʻu iho, ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua like ka male ʻana a me ka hale paʻahao - he ʻōlelo wiwo ʻole ma ka pōʻaiapili, me ka noʻonoʻo ʻaʻole wau i ʻike a ua loaʻa ʻo Margaret i nā mea ʻelua (ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo Margaret ma Ireland, UK. a me India no kāna hana hoʻoikaika a me ka lāhui).
Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka manaʻo i loko o ka pāʻani pāʻani e pili ana i ka hoʻopaʻi hewa ʻana o ka male ʻana he manaʻo polemical a he paradox. Inā like ka male a me ka hale paʻahao, a ma ka manaʻo e hoʻopau ʻia nā mea ʻelua, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa ka paʻahao ma ke ʻano he mea hiki ke pale i ka male. ʻO ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kēia ʻano loiloi iwi poʻo e hōʻailona ai i kahi kikoʻī o ka pāʻani kahi e piʻo ai ka sparring a hemo; ʻoi aku ka manaʻo o kāna kamaʻilio ʻana, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka ikaika o koʻu iho.
LC: He hoa noiʻi ʻoe ma Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, ma ka Deviant Practices Research Programme. ʻO Margaret Cousins he kanaka hewa? He aha kāu i huki ai iā ia?
EW: I ka makahiki 2017 a me 2018 ua holo au i nā papa hana lehulehu ma ka hale hōʻikeʻike. I ka hihia mua, ʻo ka 'deviance' i nīnau ʻia, ʻo ia ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana a me ka wahine i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana (a i ʻole hoʻonohonoho ponoʻī) o ke kaiāulu a me ka ʻike. He manaʻo koʻikoʻi-akā-aloha koʻu i kēia ʻano kuhi hewa. A laila, i ka ʻatikala hou loa, ʻo The Department of Sexual Revolution Studies, ua nānā mākou i nā ʻano kaulana o ka 'deviant' sexuality, e like me ka cuckolding, dogging, a i ʻole hook-ups, i hoʻoulu ʻia a hānai ʻia e nā ʻoihana libidinal paʻakikī. ʻO ka media a mākou i nānā ai a me kā mākou pāʻani pāʻani e hōʻike mau ana i kēia manaʻo - ʻaʻole ʻo deviance kahi ʻano paʻa pono. Nui nā ʻano o nā orthodoxies, i kēlā me kēia pae, ke hoʻohālikelike nei ʻoe iā ʻoe iho me ka ʻokoʻa ʻana iā ʻoe iho.
No laila ua hele hewa ʻo Margaret Cousins ma nā ʻano he nui, a ma nā ʻano ʻē aʻe he wahine nui loa ia o kona wā a me kona ʻano papa. No ka laʻana, ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻia kāna hōʻole ʻana i ka moekolohe e ka makemake e mālama i kona kūʻokoʻa ponoʻī a kūʻē i nā pono hānau. I ka manawa like, ʻo kona hōʻea ʻana i kēia kūlana me he mea lā i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka hoʻoholo ʻana o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, ma kāna duography me kāna kāne ua kākau ʻo ia: "Ua ʻike wau iaʻu e nānā i nā kāne a me nā wahine i hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia e kēia koi o ke ʻano."3 ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu naʻu e ʻōlelo i kahi e hāʻule pono ai. ʻOiai ʻo ka mea i hoʻokumu ʻia ai kēia 'koi o ke ʻano' i mea ʻokoʻa i kēlā manawa, manaʻo wau.
He mea pena ʻo Eimear Walshe mai Longford.
ʻO Lily Cahill kahi mea pena a me ka mea kākau i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Dublin. He mea hoʻoponopono pū ʻo ia o ka makasina Critical Bastards.
