In the Half Light: Voices from Black Ireland Launch

Date Thu 02 Oct 2025, 6:30pm

We’re very pleased to invite you to the launch of In the Half Light: Voices from Black Ireland, a new podcast series featuring the voices of ‘mixed-race’ people who grew up in Irish care institutions. The series explores the impact of their erasure from institutional abuse history and discourse. Through conversation, they aim to undo that erasure, one voice at a time.

The podcast is delivered in partnership with the Museum of Literature Ireland and 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.

Join us to hear Phil reflect on the experience of making the podcast, and to listen to a preview before its official release. Phil will be in conversation on the evening with writer and journalist Caelainn Hogan. The conversation will be chaired by writer Eoin McNamee.
