Trinity Talks: Dublin’s Hidden Histories
Dublin’s Hidden Histories is the latest series of ‘Trinity Talks’ from the Trinity Long Room Hub and Near FM. In this series of talks and radio programmes, we will feature an exploration of sites in Dublin which are the subject of ‘difficult’ histories, from asylums to prisons. Near FM listeners and live audience members will have the opportunity to engage with experienced researchers and compelling storytellers in their subject areas for this exploration of ‘history in the shadows’. The stories will be accompanied by live performances by An Góilín singers.
The series is made with the support of Coimisiún Na Meán’s Sound and Vision scheme, with the Television Licence fee.
These talks will be subsequently broadcast on Near FM. You can listen to Near FM online www.nearfm.ie/livestream or on 90.3FM.
