A Place of Refuge?

This week, Macha will be performing at A Place of Refuge?, an event established by the Participation & Practise of Rights’ (PPRProject.org) Housing For All group, looking at the needs & experiences of asylum seekers in Northern Ireland, as part of Refugee Week 2016.

We have created a short piece written by Fionnuala Kennedy and performed by Bernadette Brown, Caroline Curran & Julie Maxwell, inspired by interviews with people seeking asylum in Northern Ireland.

The event will take place on Friday 24th June, Shaftesbury Community Centre, 97 Balfour Avenue, Belfast, BT7 2EW, from 3.45pm-5pm. The event includes a keynote speech by Bernadette McAliskey.
