This episode focuses on the launch of the programme for this year’s annual international Irish Arts and Human Rights festival which runs from the 10 to 19 October 2025, presented by Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality and Front Line Defenders.
The aim of the festival is to celebrate and showcase the extraordinary work of human rights defenders in Ireland and around the world, past and present, and the role of the arts and artists in promoting human rights today. The show also addresses the upcoming presidential elections in Ireland and takes a look at the candidates running to date.
They will also be discussing the new Smashing Times center at 30 Sandycove Road, a multifunctional arts venue perfect for hosting community workshops, live performances, visual exhibitions, spoken word performances and more.
And, to break in the new center, Mary Moynihan has put together a multidisciplinary-exhibition which incorporates a mixture of poetry, visual art and photography with the aim of helping self-expression by mapping natural landscapes to the soul, fittingly titled: ‘Landscapes of the Soul, running until the 28th of September.
