‘RIOT:SLIGO 2021’ TO ZOOM IN ON COMMUNITY AND CULTURE

Sligo Culture Team is seeking the public’s feedback through social media channels, in advance of the international virtual conference ‘RIOT : SLIGO 2021’ on 23-24 March, which will look at cultural and creative strategies for Sligo, and other towns and small cities.

Donal Tinney, co-ordinator of Sligo Culture Team, said: “Covid-19 has forced us all to re-examine how we live, and ‘RIOT: SLIGO’ gives us the opportunity to do this as a collective.”

He added: “This opportunity for new collaborations will benefit all sectors of our society. RIOT: SLIGO will ask the hard questions about how values of culture, community and business can be mutually beneficial. We will curate conversations with a cross-section of experts and innovators from places and projects that have been transformed through ground-breaking collaborations.”

Cathaoirleach of Sligo County Council, Cllr Dara Mulvey, stated: “We look forward to the outcomes of this conference in providing a series of recommendations towards an inclusive and practical approach to re-imagining Sligo and other small towns through collaboration between their creative, cultural and economic resources.”
