Minaw Collective was founded in 2013 as an all-female street art collective and has since grown into a diverse group of fourteen artists. Based across Ireland we are united by a shared vision of empowerment, equality and artistic expression through street art.
The name Minaw is a contemporary spin on the Irish word for woman, "mná," spelled phonetically to make it more accessible to the international members of the group.
Our collective reflects a wide range of cultural and artistic influences, creating bold, vibrant murals. Each member brings a distinctive creative voice, we showcase our work together as an expression of empowerment.
Over the years, the Minaw Collective has become a leading voice in the Irish street art scene. Our murals are a dynamic expression of creativity and unity, transforming spaces through public art that inspires and empowers.
