The pairs of writers are: Connor Allen & Ciara Elizabeth Smyth Samantha O'Rourke & Michael Patrick and Oisín Kearney Hefin Robinson & Shannon Yee As part of the event, we will also hear about the international opportunities available for Welsh and Irish artists in 2021 and beyond. We will also hold an open discussion about the philosophical, political and cultural links between Wales and Ireland that might support and underpin future collaboration. The event will be live captioned and BSL interpreted. There will be a Welsh translator in the room and we actively encourage contributions in Welsh.
