Irish Travellers have a unique position in our history of arts and culture.

For Culture Night 2025 Traveller stories were included in mainstream events – such as those at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork City and Maynooth University.  

Traveller organisations are also hosted Culture Night events at a variety of locations around the country that were open to all.  

Kildare Traveller Action hosted a rehearsed reading taking the audience on a journey through a day in the life of a Traveller woman in Co. Kildare when she meets a member of the New Irish community. The two women talk about the racism they face.

A young Roma woman poet is participatied in Kilcock – Live in the Garden – an event of music and poetry which is in its 5^th year.

Bray Traveller Community Development Project hosted photographic exhibition while Bru Bhríde, Tuam hosted a vibrant evening of Traveller craft, language, music and art.

These events not only celebrated Traveller cultural heritage but also provided opportunities to promote Traveller participation in music, song, film, visual arts, poetry, drama and more and help enrich the cultural landscape of today.
