- Reposted by Clíodhna BhreatnachDelighted to get this one across the line and into #DIFF2026. It's been a mad scramble over the past month! This is the story of a city fighting for itself as a broken property market ruthlessly chews up its citizens for profit, treats homes as assets and people as obstacles to be moved out.
- Filmed over four years, Displace: The Battle For Dublin is a documentary about the trauma of developer-led change and the community resistance that follows. It's made the official selection at #DIFF2026. Screening Sun Feb 22, 13:30 at the Lighthouse Cinema. www.diff.ie/programme/di...

- I really dislike these “discussions” about immigration that clearly only address other white Irish people, as if immigrants themselves are totally other and alien. Irish schools, workplaces and families are now wonderfully full of different cultures and backgrounds. That’s reality for most.
- Reposted by Clíodhna BhreatnachHaving received previous Arts Council funding now disqualifies you from the Agility Award. Obviously resources are limited but it’s hard to support this decision. What is out there to support artists in the massive middle ground between first agility award and a bursary?
