In the Half Light: Voices from Black Ireland

In the Half Light: Voices from Black Ireland

Our first conversation takes the form of a podcast series, curated by Dr Phil Mullen (Assistant Professor of Black Studies at Trinity College Dublin and a leading researcher on the historical experiences of ‘mixed-race’ people growing up in Ireland). Using the audio format, Phil has created an anonymised, open space for ‘mixed-race’ people who grew up in Irish care institutions to explore the impact of their erasure from institutional abuse history and discourse in Ireland. Through this conversation, they aim to undo that erasure, one voice at a time.

Delivered in partnership with the Museum of Literature Ireland.
