Networks of Solidarity was a series of four monthly online talks co-organised by artist/organiser Kate O’Shea and writer/researcher Enya Moore from the Just City Collective. The Networks of Solidarity series aimed to strengthen transnational networks of solidarity and deepen awareness of place-based struggles that reverberate from Dublin 8 to Gadigal Country (Sydney, Australia).
In the Roots brings together four speakers whose practices are embedded in places of connection, creating sustainable and abundant systems as well as community organisation around ecological concerns. The guest speakers are Alexandra Crosby and Ilaria Vanni (Mapping Edges), Nadeena Dixon (Gadigal, Wiradjuri and Yuin multi-disciplinary artist), and Seoidín O’ Sullivan (artist), facilitated by Dr. Eve Olney (researcher, activist, creative producer and educator).
