Curated by ATD Ireland, the Creative Pathways to Participation project represents a collection of poetry, writing, film and art showcasing the importance of creative outlets for finding voice, self-expression, self recognition and sharing insights on issues of social justice, equality and inclusion. The project, including a book and a short film was officially launched by Sister Bernadette McMahon in Trinity College Dublin on Tuesday 7th of May and was hosted by Dr Joe Whelan.
Overall, the project aims to shine a light on the brave efforts made by many people struggling with poverty and social exclusion to express themselves publicly and to face the barriers and inequalities head on. Developed by ATD Ireland in conjunction with Community Activists and guests it explores themes of activism, poverty, inequality, sustainability, hope, community and love.
