SoloSIRENs third symposium: How Do We Care? is taking place as part of Creative Brain Week 2025 in Trinity College Dublin.
The symposium will create a space to explore the nature of care in theatre, arts participation and society. It continues SoloSIRENs ongoing inquiry into feminist aesthetics and the roles of care and collaboration in their models of theatremaking and community engagement.
What to Expect
- Reflections from artists in the How Do We Care? festival at the Civic, Tallaght
- ‘Careground’ installation created by students from Sacred Heart SNS, Killinarden
- Academic response from festival researcher Dr. Yingjun Wei
- Guest speakers who are working to create a more caring society within and beyond theatre and the arts.
The day will facilitate participation through conversation, story-sharing, playful engagement and of course, care.
Booking information
The symposium is free and open to all: artists, audiences, students, academics, community workers, anyone interested in how we are caring and how we can care more.
