THE FACTORY LINE

2019

The Factory Line is an exploration of the stories of women who worked in the 1960's factories of Dublin - who left school at 13; became women overnight; made lifelong friendships; danced till they dropped; fell in love; found independence; and contributed to the growing economy of 60’s Ireland.

Inspired by verbatim interviews with women around Dublin who worked in varying factories during this period, a short excerpt was made from a performative sharing of some of their voices and stories.
