The focus of this project is on the historically nomadic communities – English and Irish Travellers. Systematically excluded and ostracised, they were forced by the state to abandon their traditional lifestyle and culture. Annual horse fairs held all over Ireland and England are a way to celebrate their roots and give Travellers a chance to spend some time with friends and family. This project explores what it means to be a Traveller in a modern society. Annalise, Appleby.
