Skein Podcasts: Thinking Aloud, Thinking Together
Thinking Aloud, Thinking Together is a new series of live and recorded conversations amplifying voices that have been silenced in Irish cultural life. It gives space to artists, writers and thinkers who offer radical new perspectives on existing narratives. It will provide a space to discuss points of connection and concern in contemporary culture. The conversations will explore topics such as identity, relationships, shame, exclusion and reversing the impact of erasure from history and culture, focusing on experiences that are not often explored in Irish culture and history. This work will enhance the visibility of underrepresented voices and stories, offering fresh perspectives to a wider audience.
