@Angelinekking Class. A woman of many talents.

[Angeline King Writer @Angelinekking]

Ella Gingles, the 20-year-old woman from Co. Antrim who took on the underworld of Chicago in 1909, exposed vice and government corruption, united the Orange and Green societies of Chicago and gave feminists the case they needed to demand new legislation to protect girls from sex trafficking. This blog is set up for a 5-minute read or a 1-hour read, depending on your interest.

My exhibition has launched at Carrickfergus Museum. It is called Bound by Threads, and introduces the design history of fraternal regalia from its origins in the 17th century, examining fabrics, construction, decoration and styles through time and in different countries.

[Helen Johnston @museumonomicon]

Drop in and see it. You are encouraged to share any memories or stories you have relating to regalia. The exhibition runs until 28th May.

[Helen Johnston @museumonomicon]

The exhibition explores the meanings bound into these pieces of clothing and the ways in which an object can generate memory and identity. It includes handling objects and a replica Worshipful Master's cloak to try on (if you want).
