For nomadic communities the ‘cherra’ (Cant word for ‘fire’) has always been an important place for sharing and connecting; a melting pot of memory, imagination and creativity. Join this special meeting of creative minds, as poets and storytellers gather around the cherra to share work inspired by their nomadic heritage.

Featuring Julia Sweeney - local Traveller writer and poet from Galway, Damian Le Bas - writer, filmmaker and visual artist from the Gypsy Traveller community in UK, and Aka Hansen - filmmaker and poet from the Inuit community in Greenland. This event will also feature a bespoke performance of the National Action Group for LGBTI+ Traveller & Roma Rights - Spoken Word Project.
