The role of arts in multicultural societies
Premiere: June 12, 2021. 6 pm
Online - Free
In this month’s See Through Cafe we speak to Claudia Hoareau about the role of arts in a growing multicultural society such as Ireland and how we can use the arts and its mediums for growth, inclusivity and diversity.
The See Through Café is a free and open space where we allow to flourish conversations about art and diversity in and across Ireland, through the eyes of artists and art enthusiasts. The See Through Café is curated by members of the WeareGriot Collective: Dagogo Hart, Felispeaks and Samuel Yakura. It is presented in collaboration with Rua Red and supported by Creative Ireland South Dublin and South Dublin County Arts Office.
