WE ARE THE MAKERS
We Are The Makers is a new audio documentary series focusing on the work of contemporary Irish artists and their practice.
Built around extensive interviews with some of Ireland’s most eminent artists, these quarterly transmissions will be part portrait, part diary, travelogue and soundscape. With the makers as our guide, these are deep-dives into back catalogues and entire bodies of work.
Dispatches from the eye of the hurricane and heart of the matter.
Written and presented by Dónal Dineen. Produced and edited by Ian Cudmore. Original music by Ultan O’Brien. Commissioned by Solas Nua, based in Washington, D.C., bringing contemporary Irish art to U.S. audiences.
