Would you like to practice your French language while discovering or re-discovering Irish and French Cultures? This class would be the perfect combination between Language and Art.
Nominated for a Dublin Living Awards 2011, this French Master Class is held every Wednesday morning from 10.30 am up to 12.30 pm in Cultural and Heritage Sites in Dublin (museums, exhibitions, talks...) where we discover an exhibition or attend a cultural event which will be followed by a discussion in French around a coffee/tea.
At the end of the month, we will meet up for a lovely lunch to discuss about our impressions on the events.

Illustrations and silly sculptures
Siobhan Gately studied graphic design in Paris and worked in design studios and publishing houses before going freelance and setting up her own studio in Nantes (France).
Using mixed media techniques, her work is a humorous observation of ourselves at our "best"! Our daily disasters, our odd interactions with others, the absurd situation we find ourselves in… the illustrations emerge as a cheeky and brightly-coloured rendition of each and every one of us, on paper, canvas or in volume as "mobiles".

The idea that music and politics don't (and shouldn't) mix has been around a long time. Taking inspiration from Lynskey's book, the festival gathers leading writers and musicians, including Lynskey, Sinéad Gleeson, Philip King and chairperson Tony Clayton-Lea, to ask why. Are politically-engaged musicians naïve or inspirational? Does music still have the power to change the world and, if so, how? More
