CIACLA Los Angeles and MART Gallery & Studios Dublin present 'Culture Chats' a round table discussion that intertwines cultural and social conversations with performance; while delving into the minds of some of the leading contemporary voices in Irish culture.
Through an accessible and free flowing conversation the panel of artists, musicians, writers and actors discuss their creative processes, artistic drives, performative anxieties and triumphs while intercutting performances and examples of their work.
The first episode features musician Erica Cody, writer Felispeaks, visual artist MASER, DJ/Broadcaster Tara Stewart and musician James Vincent McMorrow discussing the spectacle and performance.
The episode focuses on these multidisciplinary artists whose performance work whether it be song, words, movement or visuals have contributed significantly to Contemporary Irish Culture in recent years. Their work often brings political, personal and social issues to the fore and they discuss themes of performative responsibility, activity and artistry.
The discussion is led by Matthew Nevin, a multi-faceted creative working as Co Director of MART Gallery Studios Dublin and CIACLA Contemporary Irish Arts Center Los Angeles.
