This year’s title Altered States / Idir Eatarthu is suggestive of a range of emotional and personal conditions, but also of the collective public, political and social circumstances arising out of our recent experiences as a people and a nation.

Ireland’s Edge takes these themes and explores them within the context of disinformation, data privacy, climate change, the housing crisis, cultural identity, place and much more in the company of some of Ireland’s, and the world’s, foremost thinkers, policy makers, innovators, commentators and artists.

Christopher Kissane, curator and presenter of Ireland’s Edge, said of the event: “Things look different from the Edge, and we are so excited to welcome guests and audiences back to Dingle, especially when there is so much to talk about.

"In-person, online, and on our podcast, we'll be exploring fake news, climate change, the housing crisis, and many of the other questions that have occupied all our minds during two tumultuous years that have altered our world so much.”

Ireland’s Edge - Altered States / Idir Eatarthu is kindly supported by our leading partner Intel Ireland, and further supported by Jones Engineering and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
