Storytellers at every level\, from fledglings to old crows are invited to join our Rookery every month at A4 sounds to swap stories\, develop their craft and find community in an inclusive and accessible environment that centres the queer and the disabled. This tradition and this art was once the province of the marginalised\, who now find ourselves excluded all too often\, join us in reclaiming it. \nFormat\nThis is an experimental space and we will play with the format until the right fit emerges. We’ll do our best to make the room feel cosy and informal\, no stage and comfy seats. \nAt the beginning of the event those interested in telling a story can add their name to the list at the front desk. There will be approximately six slots each session. Each slot will be 10 minutes-ish. \nAfter some pre-chats in our garden\, story time will start! You’ll be invited to get comfortable in our gallery and our host Hog and Dice will facilitate the evening. \nAfter an introduction from our host\, each of the six storytellers will share their stories with the group. When everyone has shared their stories\, Hog and Dice will close the evening and then we can return to our outdoor garden for drinks and refreshments! \nThere are no set themes for each session. \n\nEvent Page\n \nOrganisers\nLisa Crowne\nIndigo Woolfrey\nHog & Dice\n\n\nAdd to calendar \n  \n\nGoogle Calendar\niCalendar\nOutlook 365\nOutlook Live\n\n\n\n\nFacility Training | Darkroom w/Lucy | 19th & 26th Feb 16:00-19:00 | A4 Darkroom \n\n\n« All Events

SUMMARY:UNCERTAIN ETHNOGRAPHERS: short films from Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:« All Events \nUNCERTAIN ETHNOGRAPHERS: short films from Southeast Asia\nCurated by Dini Adanurani & Bảo Hân\nEmergency fundraiser in aid of Southeast Asia Floods Relief\nDate & Time:\n11 December\, 2025\n@\n7:00 pm\n–\n9:00 pm \nCategories:\nEvent\, WOWTE | Public Programme \nAbout\nIt’s not easy to disentangle the web of culture that weaved through the Southeast Asian region. Here\, ways of living and beliefs are continuously displaced by and merged with new ones\, escaping the simplicity of Western nation-state boundaries. Lands are fertile yet unstable\, inviting natural disasters as well as continuous extraction and political contestation at the expense of the people. Setting off to interrogate the cultural artefacts and memories that stubbornly remain in their fractured present\, our filmmakers divest from the colonial ways of establishing authority of knowledge over their subjects. These films propose creative speculations based on correspondences\, close reading of archives\, mythologies\, to oral history and lived narratives. \nThis program is a curated collection of short films by contemporary Southeast Asian artists\, focusing on themes of colonialism\, land\, and the ethnographic gaze. While the curators initially planned it to address the significant underrepresentation of Southeast Asian art in Dublin’s cultural scene\, its purpose has now become critically urgent. In direct response to the devastating natural disasters that have recently struck the Philippines\, southern Thailand\, central Vietnam\, and western Indonesia\, this event has been transformed into a fundraising initiative. All donations collected will go directly to vetted relief efforts in these affected regions. \nTickets & Donation\nPlease note this is a fundraiser event and there is a cover charge for members to attend. \nThere is a tiered ticketing system in place with the lowest ticket costing €7.00. \n100% of income* received from the purchase of tickets will go directly to vetted relief efforts in these affected regions. \nIn addition to ticket sales we encourage everyone who can to make an additional donation at the time of booking or on the night of the event to help raise as much funds as possible. \nCan’t attend but would love to support? Please purchase a solidarity ticket and/or make a donation via our shop! \n\nEvent Page\n \nOrganisers\nLisa Crowne\nIndigo Woolfrey\nDini Adanurani & Bảo Hân\n\n\nAdd to calendar \n \n\nGoogle Calendar\niCalendar\nOutlook 365\nOutlook Live\n\n\n\n\nGallery Visit | Alan Butler: Assets | Green On Red Gallery | Dublin | Thurs 11th Dec 4pm \n\nI forgot anteaters exist: YOU CAN GET A RADIO LICENCE \n\n\n« All Events
