To mark the beginning of a New Year and look forward to an era post-COVID-19, the Centre Culturel Irlandais has commissioned 40 artists to address the world with their reflections on the times in which we live: choreographers, theatre makers, writers, musicians, visual artists and filmmakers convey their values, their preoccupations, their anger and frustrations as well as messages of courage, joy, gratitude, desire and aspiration. 

Among the represented artists are QSS studio holders Amanda Coogan and Joy Gerrard. Amanda’s address was featured on last Thursday’s programme (21 January 2021) and can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/C4PvA8-pXu0

Joy’s address will be included in tomorrow night’s feature and can be viewed live on CCI’s website, Facebook page or YouTube channel commencing at 7pm (GMT).
