CFCP On Air: New Voices of Ireland Session 5 Irina Maldea and Nkosikhona NgcoboIn ConversationThe migrant journey is one that is complex and never quite completed. As shown in many films – both fiction and documentary – that journey is both physical and psychological. And while, at some point, the journey from home to the chosen destination reaches its end, the process of assimilation into a new culture is much slower and at times more trying. Questions of identity, roots, memory, dreams and freedom are oftentimes complicated and difficult to navigate.
In this podcast, we discuss the topics of migration, displacement, loops and identity.

CFCP On Air: New Voices of Ireland Session 5 with Diviane Helena and Barbara O’Meara
Diviane Helena and Barbara O’Meara rituals, ancestry, and femininity In Conversation
In this session of CFCP On Air we talk to artists Diviane Helena and Barbara O'Meara about their collaboration.
Both developed a collection of six videos, three videos each, inspired by their virtual meetings in which they immersed themselves in dialogue and studies about ancestry, femininity and traditional sacred rituals from Ireland and Brazil.
The videos are also a response to the restrictions we are living at the moment due to Covid-19. The artists worked from separate locations due to the current restrictions.
Their subjective implication made this project happen from an intimate place.

Roots, Religion and WorkIn Conversation
In this session we talk to artists, Leia Mocan, Zahra Khan and Imogen-Blue Hinojosa about roots, religion and their work. Plus an introduction with Maureen Kennelly, Director of the Arts Council of Ireland.
The voices of migrants, the main agents of cultural diversity and collaboration, are rarely heard and in these challenging times there is a danger that they will be completely marginalised. Hence, the focus of this year’s New Voices Series – Against the Odds 2: Open Studios is on visibility and dialogue.
The aim of the New Voices of Ireland Series is to present migrant artists to the wider online community, to let them tell about their artistic practices, their new and previous works, their plans and about themselves, their lives in Ireland and their artistic and personal roots.
