Michele Zousmer – MIS[S]UNDERSTOOD

MIS[S]UNDERSTOOD spotlights the vital role of women in the Irish Traveller community, portraying them as the cornerstone of family life and tradition while facing discrimination despite their cultural significance. Through empathetic, honest visual storytelling, this work seeks to humanize the community, challenge prejudice, and evoke deeper understanding and connection.
