Building on the enthusiastic support and amazing submissions we received for our culture walks at the Stoneybatter Festival and ICAD Upstarts, we are now turning our focus toward curating a series of Pride routes, honouring and celebrating the full spectrum of queerness, beyond gender binarism and heteronormative conventions, with the allies who walk alongside, and for every creative expression in the LGBTQ+ community that deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.
We wish to see creativity and diversity intertwined throughout our series of Pride routes. Where history meets stories, and where every creative expression of the community gets to be seen, heard and honoured. Virtually painting the town with their pieces, nourishing connections and showcasing their talents.
This year’s Dublin Pride theme, “Taking Liberties”, speaks to the fundamental freedoms at the heart of the community. The liberty to live, express, and exist without fear or limitations. For LGBTQ+ youths, this liberty must extend beyond physical spaces and into the digital world, where many seek connection, affirmation and safety. We want this panoply of creative expressions to become acts that remind youth, Trans individuals, immigrants, the elderly and everyone that their identity is something to be celebrated, not hidden. Spreading creativity, rooting for a more connected community, with unity and love, before, during and after Pride.
Join us today, be part of the underground movement. Let's put creativity on our map.
