We are so delighted to welcome Seanchoíche back to IMMA, exclusively for our IMMA MEMBERS audience, to celebrate Pride 2024. 

IMMA People’s Pavilion, June 20th 

Seanchoíche is the brainchild of the phenomenal Ciaran ‘Gaff’ Gaffney, and is the storytelling platform founded in Dublin that currently runs in several cities around the world, including Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Sydney, Melbourne, Belfast, Limerick and further afield. Hosting nights for people from all corners to come and listen and engage with spoken stories, ranging from personal anecdotes, monologues, fictional narratives, to poetry pieces and anything in between, experiencing the, now world-famous, event is such a special, intimate experience.

The Seanchoíche ethos of love and empathy lends itself to our event theme, Pride 2024. This IMMA MEMBERS event will revolve around what it means to celebrate Pride in Ireland, inspired by our programme for the rest of the year, which includes the artists melanie bonajo and Hamad Butt, and the list of speakers will be curated by IMMA and Gaff to highlight those who use their creative platform to champion inclusivity. Expect some familiar faces on the night, including:

Ailbhe Smyth

Ailbhe Smyth was founder of the Women’s Education, Research and Resource Centre (WERRC) at UCD and head of women’s studies. Smyth was co-director of the ‘Together for Yes’ referendum campaign and spokesperson for the Coalition to Repeal the Eighth Amendment. She was also strategic advisory for the Marriage Equality referendum.

Robbie Lawlor

Lisa Connell
Lisa Connell is the co-founder of Mother and a co-owner of the new bar Love Tempo (on Thomas Street, Dublin). She is also the former Managing Editor of GCN.
