Panellists and Chairperson

Maria Fleming

Maria Fleming is CEO of First Fortnight, Ireland’s mental health arts festival. Maria has over 20 years experience working as a general manager, producer, programmer and arts consultant with Ireland’s leading companies and theatre artists, including Dublin Theatre Festival, The Ark, Barabbas, Druid Theatre Company, Hot For Theatre, and Irish Modern Dance Theatre. She is currently Chair of NCFA the National Campaign For the Arts. Maria is passionate about social justice and was involved with Waking The Feminists In Irish Theatre in 2015. In 2017 Maria travelled twice to the island of Chios in Greece to volunteer with refugee support group CESRT. Maria Fleming is a board member of the Irish Cancer Society and works with them as a volunteer Advocacy Champion.

Brian Maguire 

Born in 1951 in Bray, Brian Maguire studied at Dún Laoghaire technical school and then at NCAD, graduating in 1974. Throughout his artistic career, Maguire’s work has emerged from his engagement with people who found themselves marginalized or excluded. The Kerlin Gallery says: “Brian Maguire has approached painting as an act of solidarity. He operates a truly engaged practice, compelled by the raw realities of humanity’s violence against itself, and the potential for justice. Maguire’s pre- occupations draw him to the margins of the art world —alternative space, prisons, women’s shelters, and psychiatric institutions- making shows in traditional gallery and museum spaces something of a rarity.” 

Maguire’s most recent bodies of work directly confront issues of migration, displacement and human dignity in the face of the current global unrest. He works slowly, using photo-graphic sources, searching for that point where illustration ceases and art begins, looking for a single image which tells the whole story”. 

Maguire has shown extensively in Europe and the Americas, most recently at the Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juárez, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts, the University of Texas at El Paso (September 2019), at the United Nations Headquarters, New York (in 2020), the Rhona Hoffmann Gallery, Chicago (January 2021), and Galerie Christophe Gaillard, Paris. 

A survey of his work in the last 10 years opens on October 3rd 2024 in the Hugh Lane Gallery and runs until 23 March 2025. 

Robbie O’Connor

Robbie O’Connor is a theatre maker from Dublin. He graduated with a B.A (Hons) Degree in Acting from The Lir Academy, Trinity College Dublin in 2015. As a writer he has co-written and contributed to many projects such as Hentown, The Lost O’Casey and REBEL REBEL (ANU).

Forest Bathing

On June 26, 2024 RADE participants went on an outing to Knocksink wood for a day of forest bathing. This Japanese practice of nature immersion, known to reduce stress and improve immune system, offers benefits for mental and physical well-being. Led by Rosalind of Walk of Leaf, this nature walk involved stopping at several points along the trail for nature immersion activities. As a group, we began by practicing mindfulness breathing techniques. Before the walk, participants were asked to find a loose item on the ground to drop into the flowing river as a symbol of letting go, which was a great way to start off the walk.

Along the trail we witnessed tadpoles, butterflies, and the small beautiful details of nature. We engaged in several activities, outlined below:

  • Loose treasure Participants were tasked with finding a loose treasure on the ground which was wonderful way to connect with nature
  • Think, pair, share The group separated into pairs to share with one another about their favourite tree and then we regrouped to share what our partners said, fostering deeper connections
  • Pen and paper exercise Participants were given a blank piece of paper and pen for them to close their eyes and move the pen to the sound of the surrounding noises. This resulted in a unique art piece in the end
  • Sensory focus We paused to focus on our senses, noticing sounds, smells, and sights of the forest
  • Solo time in nature Participants found their own quiet, secluded areas to sit and just ‘be’ in nature
  • Natural art creation Together we crafted a large natural art piece from loose forest items found in our surroundings

At the end of our walk we concluded with a nice picnic where participants emphasized the sense of relaxation and peace they felt from this experience. Many noted their desire to repeat this outing again. As a special touch, local tea and seeds were gifted to participants from Rosalind. Participants enjoyed a sunny and peaceful outing which fostered relaxation, mindfulness, and time to disconnect.

Thank you to all the participants and Rosalind for making this day memorable.

The Garden Project – Ó Liath go Glas

Ó Liath go Glas, (From Grey to Green) was a new community project emerging from 2022’s Rhizome Green Arts project run by the Project Arts Centre, and which inspired RADE to establish a garden at our inner city premises during the summer of 2023.

This short documentary film beautifully recounts the pride that was taken in this collaborative project and how socially engaged arts practice can benefit communities such as RADE.

Over the course of spring and early summer 2023 the courtyard at RADE was transformed into an urban oasis thanks to the efforts of RADE participants in partnership with artist Louis Haugh through the Project Arts Centre and horticultural instructor Andrew Jordan.

RADE participants worked with Louis and Andrew to design raised beds and an archway connecting two of the raised beds.  Participants then selected which plants they were interested in growing with Andrew. Over the course of the 8 week workshop, the participants have grown vegetables, herbs and flowers from seed and transplanted them into the raised beds.  With support from the CDETB (City Of Dublin Education and Training Board) the project also included an educational element in basic gardening skills with the potential for participants to complete the QQI Level 3 course in Basic Gardening.

In a short period of time the courtyard evolved into an inviting space.  It has become a natural place to spend time outside of workshops and a peaceful spot for quiet reflection. 

The RADE Garden was launched at a celebration on Thursday, the 17th of August 2023. We were delighted to be joined by many RADE friends to help mark this uplifting project.

RADE would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners and funders on the project.  It has been kindly supported by the Project Arts Centre, BAM’s Community Benefit Fund for the new children’s hospital, CDETB and Dublin City Council.

RADE MY MIND Booklet Launch

RADE MY MIND was launched on 5th July 2023. This book of RADE participant’s creative work in 2022 had been kept under wraps for at least a month until its official launch at the OLV Building, Dublin 8.

From the book’s introduction:

“2022 was another busy and creative year for RADE participants and staff. Capturing the creativity of participants’ work in a book only shows half the story but we hope you will get a sense of the energy and productivity amongst these pages”

We were delighted to be joined by many guests for this special occasion which was a celebration of talent and creativity. Participants put together a performance of readings taken from the book for a captivated audience who joined us in applauding the creative work that goes on at RADE. The readings ranged from witty and playful to serious and thought provoking. It was a beautiful but brief interlude in the regular week at RADE and we were grateful to all those who gave up their lunch hour to be with us. A lucky break in the rain meant we could linger outside after the event and enjoy refreshments together.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the occasion both creatively and behind the scenes and to everyone who came to give their support.

Book Launch RADE MY MIND

Wednesday 5th July 1-2pm at RADE, OLV Building, Cathedral View Court, Dublin 8. All welcome

Project Arts Centre 7th June 2023

Apartment Block C is a short play created by RADE participants and writer / actor Liam Wilson Smyth. It was presented at the Project Arts Centre, Essex Street, Dublin 2 on June 7th 2023 during a one-day residency. Apartment Block C was devised during a 10 week series of workshops at RADE in which Liam developed a script in collaboration with RADE participants and introduced them to the craft of acting. The play follows a group of apartment residents as they attempt to negotiate their way to claim a lottery winning ticket that has been found in the block. Needless to say, everyone feels sure that the ticket is theirs but not one person has any evidence.

During a post-show feedback session, one RADE participant commented on how they felt as a result of taking part in the process:  

I took drugs to feel confident and looked outside myself to feel good, but through RADE I have found an alternative and have discovered that I am good from the inside.  There are other avenues out there and RADE is one of them.  I can express myself authentically and hold my head high as I walk down the road’.   

RADE was delighted to be invited by the Project Arts Centre to spend this residency day in the Cube theatre, providing participants with an invaluable opportunity to work and perform in a professional theatre space. Cathy Coughlan, Director of Project Potential and her team gave RADE a magnificent welcome. One day in the theatre and we could feel its magic.

Light Source: Stained-Glass Exhibition

The stained-glass windows were installed permanently in the OLV building following the successful exhibition in The Atrium in October 2014
IMG_5518
Light Source celebrated RADE’s 10th anniversary with a show that developed service-users’ visual-arts skills by learning the medieval craft of stained glass. Facilitated by stained-glass artist Peter Young, participants designed and built two large stained-glass windows which are now permanently installed in RADE’s premises, the OLV Building.

Before the installation, the windows were exhibited in their entirety in The Atrium, Wood Quay, Dublin 8, from 25th August to 5th September 2014. The exhibition also included artwork from participants. Dean Victor Stacey of St. Patrick’s Cathedral officially opened the exhibition.

Permanent Installation

Following the successful exhibition in The Atrium, the windows returned to the OLV Building and were installed in the main space downstairs. To mark the occasion, Lord Mayor Christy Burke officially unveiled the windows and praised the group’s work. These windows, which add a touch of colour and brightness to RADE’s home, are now the first thing participants, staff and visitors see on entering the premises.
