Innovative Cultural Relations in Action. Dublin 9-11 March 2012.  A piece of theatre which demonstrates the power of storytelling, creating a space for Muslim women to share their stories; a space that does not claim to tell every story and speak for every voice.

Thursday 7 June, 6pm, Samuel Beckett Theatre

Keith Ridgeway, Rachel Seiffert & Lucy Caldwell, chaired by John Freeman, editor of Granta. Inspired by British Council Ireland's current initiative on contemporary cultural relations, this stimulating event explores the 'cultural imagination' (how place is shaped in the mind and on the page) with respect to the relationship between Britain and Ireland.
