Oral history is a powerful means to gain insight into these forces. Sonya was born in Cali, Colombia and obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree in the Special Individualized Program (now INDI) at Concordia University, Montreal.\u00a0 Sonya has presented her work at various conferences in Ireland and Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSheela Voices Project\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was initiated by Sonya to capture different perspectives and reactions to the Sheela-na-gig \u2013 which is a medieval stone carving of a naked female figure with a pose that emphasizes her genitalia. These carvings are found on churches, castles, and monasteries and are mainly located in Ireland. The original meaning of the Sheela image remains unknown. In more recent times, however, it has been used as a feminist icon, talisman, fertility figure and focus of devotional rituals. This project seeks to capture the stories of people who have interacted with the Sheela-na-gig and especially those whose connection has a spiritual element. The stories thus provide an insight into the continuing power of the Sheela to engage, support and inspire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sheela-na-gig<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The subject of my research is the Sheela-na-gig, a medieval stone carving of a naked figure with a pose that emphasizes her genitalia. This oral history project has collected a series of interviews with individuals or have interacted with the Sheela or been inspired by it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Two artists, one attracted by the Sheela as strong feminist figure, and the other seeing the Sheela as a vehicle of sexuality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 An archeologist and a historian, who both take an objective view to the Sheela as artifact;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A family who have had a Sheela on their property for generations, and see it is a talisman;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A novelist who grew up near a church that had a Sheela on it, and who respects it as a mystical object.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These interviews offer a diverse historical context as well as new stories about the Sheela. During the past months, the process of transcribing, editing and interpreting the interviews has been underway. The overall structure for a book has been developed. Some preliminary concepts have been defined for connecting the interviews into a common theme. A strategy for the release of this material has been defined.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6691,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,86,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-affilie-e-s","category-affilie-e-s-communautaires","category-communaute"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2734"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6697,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2734\/revisions\/6697"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytelling.concordia.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
