Just 1 week till the New Voices of Ireland Series 8 kicks off online... so yesterday we had a brief intro to the series, if you didn't see it check it out, and so today I want to let you know that the series will in fact be online...

Despite the lockdown and the adverse conditions in 2020 and 2021, we wanted to continue our work on the New Voice of Ireland Series and give migrant and culturally diverse artists who all severely suffered due to the lockdowns and loss of jobs and income, an opportunity to work artistically and collaborate while isolating. Moving the programme online was the way to go. Working online also allowed us to select more artists than usual.

The Programme kicks-off on the 11th February and runs to 1st April 2021 and will include 17 artists doing 8 sessions...

In the next few days we will do through the artists for each session, starting with the first 3 for session 1, Leia Mocan, Zahra Khan and Imogen-Blue Hinojosa.

In the meantime why not check out the whole series:

New Voices of Ireland Series 8
11 Feb - 1 April 2021

How about a brief introduction to the series?

The voices of migrants, the main agents of cultural diversity and collaboration, are rarely heard and in these challenging times there is a danger that they will be completely marginalised. Hence, the focus of this year’s New Voices Series – Against the Odds 2: Open Studios is on visibility and dialogue.

The aim of the New Voices of Ireland Series is to present migrant artists to the wider online community, to let them tell about their artistic practices, their new and previous works, their plans and about themselves, their lives in Ireland and their artistic and personal roots.

Through the series we want to provide a platform for both physical and conceptual communication between migrant and local artists, their communities and their artworks.
