admin January 9, 2017

JP Swaine, Co-Founder of First Fortnight, talks to Noel McGuinness about this year’s First Fortnight Mental Health Arts Festival. First Fortnight is a not-for-profit arts-based mental health awareness project run by a group of volunteers. Their key aim is to challenge the stigma of mental health through the arts and create a space where people can talk about mental health issues. This is the eighth year the festival has been staged and events include music, poetry, visual art, theatre, debate, dance and film. The festival runs until 20th January and for more information see www.firstfortnight.ie/
