Misleór Cherra Session

For nomadic communities the ‘cherra’ (Cant word for ‘fire’) has always been an important place for sharing and connecting; a melting pot of memory, imagination and creativity. Join this special meeting of creative minds, as poets and storytellers gather around the cherra to share work inspired by their nomadic heritage.

Featuring: Julia Sweeney – local Traveller writer, poet & singer from Galway; Jess Smith – author & storyteller (Scottish Traveller); Beaska Niilas – land guardian & duojár (Sámi); Lavie Olupona – activist & poet (Irish Traveller); and Chrissy Donoghue Ward – author & storyteller (Irish Traveller).
