Ep 108 Port Perspectives & Fashion Revolution

In the latest podcast, Róisín Ingle talks to the three female artists commissioned by Dublin Port and Business To Arts, to create works for the Port Perspectives project. The three were chosen out of around 100 applications to create public artworks and installations in the Dublin port area. Sheelagh Broderick is helping to connect walkers to the port through podcasts, Silvia Loeffler is carrying out a deep mapping of the area and Cliona Harmey is working with AEMI on a series of screenings and artist commissions. Later in the podcast, Jennifer Ryan meets the founder of Nu. Ethical, a sustainable fashion community, to discuss Fashion Revolution Week. A series of events are being hosted across Ireland on the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh, which killed 1,138 people and injured many more on 24th April 2013. People are also being encouraged to tweet #whomademyclothes accompanied by pictures of their clothing with the labels out.
