Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality is committed to promoting creative arts practice and research in support of rights and values for all citizens equally across the globe and in support of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all. Join our live stream on Friday 17 April, 2020, 7:30pm for performances and discussion on a celebration of arts and human rights as we work with theatre and film artists Raymond Keane, Sarah Jane Scaife and Geraldine McAlinden, songwriter Farah Elle; and writer, theatre and film maker Mary Moynihan. Our guests will chat and perform live as they explore their own work and the work of artists in the past and today who stood up against fascism and promoted human rights.
