In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Luke McManus about his documentary musical North Circular. North Circular travels the length of Dublin's fabled North Circular Road, from the Phoenix Park to Dublin Port, meeting characters and hearing their personal stories, often told in music and song. The film celebrates the vibrant cultural heritage of the various neighbourhoods the road connects, along with the addressing the challenges of living along the famed road. These character's stories are both heartfelt and intimate. But they also evoke narratives from Irish history: imperialism, revolution, incarceration, institutionalisation, the housing crisis, and the struggle for gender equality. Told in black and white 4:3 Academy ratio, North Circular also engages with urgent contemporary issues, including the battle to save the legendary Cobblestone Pub, centre of Dublin's new folk and trad scene, from destruction at the hands of property developers. The film includes searing musical performances from artists who live along the North Circular, or ‘The Norrier' as it's affectionately referred to by locals, including Lisa O'Neill, John Francis Flynn, Séan Ó Túama, Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, Ian Lynch & Gemma Dunleavy. It also features contributions from historians and writers who live in the area including Ellen Rowley, Eamon Delaney, Paul Rouse & Catriona Crowe. North Circular is written and directed by Luke McManus, edited by John Murphy and produced by Luke McManus & Elaine Gallagher for Madhouse Films, with funding from the Arts Council/An Comhairle Ealaíon under their ReelArt Scheme.

The COVID–19 pandemic has exposed deep fractures in many countries in how we organise our societies, in our capacity to care for our most vulnerable citizens and in the systems that govern our lives. Some of us hope for change in these systems when we finally escape COVID's clutches. Will the dreadful death toll, the economic devastation and the obvious deficiencies in our public services encourage or force us to explore other options? How will Ireland react to the potential lessons to be learned from what we have been through? In this episode of First Thought, Fintan O'Toole, who has written for a long time about fractured structures and potential change, is joined in conversation with Catriona Crowe, Curator of First Thought Talks.

'Better a state without public records than public records without a state'?— state formation, archives and commemoration So said Winston Churchill in reference to the Irish Free State on hearing news of the destruction of the Public Records Office in the Four Courts in June 1922 at the outbreak of the Civil War. But in many respects, this also applies to Northern Ireland whose Public Records Office Northern Ireland (PRONI) didn't open its doors until 1924. How did these two institutions overcome this initial setback and what has been their significance in state formation, archives and commemoration?   Listen to Tommy Graham, editor of History Ireland, in discussion with Marie Coleman, Catriona Crowe, Ray Gillespie and Neil Johnston.   This Hedge School is a part of a wider digital event hosted by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, in conjunction with Beyond 2022.

On Monday December 10th, The Irish Times marks 100 years since the 1918 election, with a magazine and unique commemorative poster featuring a specially commissioned poem by Eavan Boland, illustrated by artist Paula McGloin. Articles by Catriona Crowe, Ivana Bacik, Una Mullally and others will explore how the vote was won by the women of Ireland, and how they have fared in the century since. To mark this publication Róisín Ingle hosted a special Irish Times Women’s Podcast at The National Gallery in Dublin. It was a stimulating evening of conversation about Irish women and art. Joining the discussion was Leah Benson, archivist and curator of the [In]Visible: Irish Women Artists from the Archives exhibition which sheds light on the education, career and recognition of artists such as Mary Swanzy, Elizabeth Corbet Yeats and Evie Hone. Acclaimed performance artist Amanda Coogan talked about the inspiration behind her provocative new artwork Floats in the Aether which is currently running at the gallery in response to the newly opened Markievicz: Portraits and Propaganda exhibition. Visual artist Alice Maher discussed women’s representation in Irish art and her favourite portraits featuring women. There was also music from the National Gallery Choir and Kildare musician Megan O’Neill. This episode also includes a reading of Eavan Boland’s specially commissioned poem Our Future Will Become the Past of Other Women which can be found in our in-depth Vote 100 coverage in The Irish Times online with interactive features, video, audio and Boland’s poem in 8 languages at Irishtimes.com/Vote100

Panel discussion, chaired by Catriona Crowe with Margaret O'Callaghan, Margaret MacCurtain and author Lucy McDiarmid. The discussion is followed by the launch of At home in the revolution - what women said and did in 1916. At Home in the Revolution as a publication derives its material from women's own accounts of the Easter Rising, interpreted broadly to include also the Howth gun-running and events that took place over the summer of 1916 in Ireland. These eye-witness narratives -- diaries, memoirs, letters, autobiographies, and official witness statements -- were written by nationalists and unionists, Catholics and Protestants, women who felt completely at home in the garrisons, cooking for the men and treating their wounds, and women who stayed at home during the Rising. The book's focus is on the kind of episode usually ignored by traditional historians: cooking with bayonets, arguing with priests, resisting sexual harassment, soothing a female prostitute, doing sixteen-hand reels in Kilmainham Gaol, or disagreeing with Prime Minister Asquith about the effect of the Rising on Dublin's architecture. The women's ‘small behaviours', to use Erving Goffman's term, reveal social change in process, not the official history of manifestoes and legislation, but the unofficial history of access to a door or a leap through a window; they show how issues of gender were negotiated at a time of revolution.
