of Ireland
Series 8
Against The Odds 2:
Open Studios
Intro
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 on visibility and dialogue.
The aim of the New Voices of Ireland Series is presenting migrant artists to the wider online community, tell about their artistic practices, new and previous works, plans and about themselves – their lives in Ireland and their artistic and personal roots.
Through the New Voices of Ireland Series 8, we want to provide a platform for both physical and conceptual communication between migrant and local artists, their communities and their artworks created through observation and artistic exploration of their work.
