Getting on the airwaves as a radio amateur sending Morse code or voice to other radio amateurs in the modern day is perhaps an obscure hobby, but the licence process is open to everyone.

This info-dump is for anyone curious about amateur radio—what it is (it's not pirate radio!)

While the curators initially planned it to address the significant underrepresentation of Southeast Asian art in Dublin's cultural scene, its purpose has now become critically urgent.

This program is a curated collection of short films by contemporary Southeast Asian artists, focusing on themes of colonialism, land, and the ethnographic gaze.

The films in this program propose creative speculations based on correspondences, close reading of archives, mythologies, to oral history and lived narratives.

Setting off to interrogate the cultural artefacts and memories that stubbornly remain in their fractured present, our filmmakers divest from the colonial ways of establishing authority of knowledge over their subjects.

It’s not easy to disentangle the web of culture that weaved through the Southeast Asian region. Here, ways of living and beliefs are continuously displaced by and merged with new ones, escaping the simplicity of Western nation-state boundaries.

The recent recording released of the horrific practices at the NGS needs to help shared far and wide. This is not out of the ordinary and has been expressed for years that this abuse has been happening routinely. I've personally had to intervene with people left suicidal after their 'assesments'

Who is I forgot anteaters exist for?

The series is open to everyone who loves a good rabbit hole. It is an open informal platform to share knowledge and share in the joy of the interests of others.
