“Heritage"

#BlackHistoryMonth is celebrated is some parts of the world and we are delighted to share the amazing work "Heritage".

The art piece is done by Alessandra Azevedo (Dancer, Afro-Brazilian Cultural facilitator, Dublin), Fionnuala O'Connell (Youth Project Worker - Cork Migrant Centre, Nano Nagle Place), Raphael Olympio (Rapper/Spoken Word Artist/Songwriter, Cork), and Andrea Williams (Dancer/Choreographer, Model, Actor and Art Director, Cork) on an amazing short film for #DouglassWeek 2021 in Ireland.

This is an all-island, collaborative event series that celebrates the arrival of Frederick Douglass in Ireland between 1845-1846, during which time he lectured to packed audiences, met with Daniel O’Connell and reflected upon the devastating effects of the famine then beginning to sweep the nation.

#DouglassWeek 2021 is an online commemoration of Frederick Douglass’s journey to Ireland in 1845 that brings together artists, academics and activists to celebrate the renowed author, orator, abolitionist, statesman, publisher and suffragist.

A variety of performative events, creative installations and critical discussion, offering a collection of responses to address the footprint of Douglass in Ireland.

Between the 8th-14th February, we invite you to join us on his journey across the island by watching and participating in unique “Creative Commemorations” projects from Douglass enthusiasts all across the Emerald Isle. Link in bio to find more about all the events happening.
