👋🏼 Join us to celebrate Irish Sign Language Awareness Week!
Throughout 2023 and 2024 we’ve been working closely with the Deaf community, and with the support of the Irish Human Rights & Equality Commission grant we were able to establish a number of programmes and initiatives to support the Deaf community, highlight some of the barriers experienced and create more opportunities for Deaf artists.
Every day this week we will be sharing the voices of the artists involved, as well as sharing some tips we’ve picked up along the way. Stay tuned over the next few days for information on working with Deaf artists, coordinating accessible performances, digital access and participation!

As the 70’s rage on, the telephone rings….Callings follows five queer people who found sanctuary and community on the other end of the phone by seeking solace in Cara-Friend - a befriending service set up in the 1970’s to support the many hidden LGBTQ+ individuals across the north of Ireland. Charged with the music of the day, and set amidst a storm of anti-gay headlines, Callings delves deep into the struggle for survival our queer communities faced on a daily basis.
In an era when the government attempted to quash their right to exist, these moments of connection were an act of resistance and rebellion.
First Trimester
💞 Embark on a journey with London-based performance artist @krishnaistha as they search for the ‘perfect’ sperm donor. The show explores human connection and parenthood, challenging expectations, and redefining what it means to create a family as a transgender person.

Today we have launched the brand new projectartscentre.ie, and along with this new gorgeous online space we’ve created for our artists, performances, visual arts and all things Project, we’ve created an additional online space for multidisciplinary art to live, called the Project Portal. Think your favourite streaming service, but for free and packed full of your favourite artists showcasing their best work.
And to celebrate the launch of our new Project Portal, we’re holding an exclusive night with Irish artist Monjola on Friday 12th July, which will discuss the world of digital and how it is integral to the marketing mix of releasing music, art and creating communities in 2024. Join us for a night of connection and conversation, topped off with a live performance of Monjola’s brand new EP.
Or don’t - ItS nOt ThAt DeEp
The Portal aims to be a fourth space at Project, showcasing multidisciplinary work across all art forms in the online space. We hope it will be a way for you to get to know artists and their work on a deeper level, and a way for us to get to know emerging new artists too.
Will we see you there? 👀

We are in shambles.
Ciseach looks to the body, to the collective, in search of a new path as the ground beneath us yields. This stirring new work by CYD is an embodied manifesto – urging us to re-member, to re-connect with our past, with nature and with each other.
Collecting fragments of native wisdoms, myths and kinships, Ciseach pieces together possible futures to build the wattled causeway, the ciseach to guide us to solid ground.
Will we see you there?
