Celebrating Traveller & Roma Identities

Visit Pavee Point Traveller & Roma Centre to celebrate Culture Night with Travellers and Roma through conversations about culture and identity today and in the past. In this wonderful converted church building near Mountjoy Square you can tour their cultural centre and find out what life was like on the road in their recreated Traveller camp. You can see the photographic exhibitions, films, traditional crafts and learn about Travellers' contribution to Irish traditional music and the Traveller language CANT. You can also find out about the different Roma traditions in Europe and what life is like for Roma in Ireland today. At 7.15pm, two young Traveller musicians will showcase Traveller talent and perform songs they felt inspirational during a recent music project delivered by Pavee Point, Galway Traveller Movement and Music Generation Galway City.
