Wednesday, 10th, 4:30pm (GMT): Teens Video and Workshop: A collaboration between Barretstown, Stevie G (Cork Migrant Centre), Paul Oakley Stovall and Nikhil Saboo (Hamilton the musical) and The Irish Institute of Music and Song, hosted by Fiona Killeen (Barretstown).
This will consist of an interview with our esteemed guests, Paul Oakley Stovall and Nikhil Saboo, who are in Ireland at the moment researching and writing a script and treatment for a mini-series focused on Douglass’s journey to Ireland.
Cork DJ and musical historian Stevie G will do a short workshop tracing the journey of music through migration, paying particular attention to how hip-hop drew its roots from a small island in the Caribbean (Jamaica), and how much music and culture traveled from Africa across the Atlantic back in the days of slavery. He will also detail some of the work that the young teens from Cork Migrant Centre have been doing for #DouglassWeek.
Our young audience are encouraged to ask questions and take part through the chat!
