'Behind the World: The Maeve Brennan Story'

“The little side streets that live off Broadway also live in the shadow of Broadway, and there are times, looking from the windows of the hotel where I live at present, on West Forty-ninth Street, when I think that my hotel and all of us here on this street are behind the world instead of in it.” - Maeve Brennan

Join us this December 3rd with Booker Prize winning authors Anne Enright & Roddy Doyle in conversation with Deborah Treisman of the @newyorkermag. In collaboration with @irishartscenter

As the coronavirus pandemic surged through New York City in March, the first epicentre of the virus in the United States, and the harbinger for what was to come across the country, New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo handpicked Limerickman Michael Dowling, CEO of Northwell Health, to be the city’s crisis manager for the state’s coronavirus response.

I.NY welcomes Michael Dowling to a digital conversation with the Irish Times’ Dave Hannigan, Cork-born, and himself a New York resident of 20 years. This conversation will explore Mr Dowling’s work over the last 8 months, but also him as an individual, his life in New York, and his continuing connection with Ireland.

'The Extraordinary Sound of a Silent New York' (Part 1)

“A quietened, frightened, determined, cavernous, beautiful place”.

This December, I.NY presents two conversations exploring the experience of a New York City stopped and silenced by the coronavirus pandemic, from the perspective of Irish & American artists, authors, musicians, photographers, film-makers and architects.

Part 1 features the photography of Rich Gilligan, and welcomes him in conversation with broadcaster and filmmaker Donal Dineen. None of us could have imagined that we would see a city such as New York stopped, emptied, quietened, but the coronavirus caused that extraordinary happening. Presented with the Irish Consulate NYC.

'The Hub in Hell’s Kitchen'New York City’s @irishartscenter

On December 4th, I.NY hosts a conversation with Executive Director Aidan Connolly about "arguably the most important Irish cultural centre in the United States" - @irishtimesnews

The new and deeply impressive Irish Arts Center building opens in 2021, in the full face of the coronavirus pandemic, and all the changes it has wrought on cultural, artistic and community life. This new building is the work of a quiet, relentless and talented team within the Center, committed to welcoming and elevating Irish artistic practice and presence within New York City, both as art for art’s sake, and as a most important expression of Irishness within a city shaped by Irishness.

Well, another day of an almighty year. You’ve had enough on your plate, little time to notice that I.NY has been quiet. But quiet doesn’t mean idle! If anything, it means unsteady, purposeful, shocked, grateful, dozing, concentrated, intrigued, sometimes panicked, busily resting, watching, listening, feeling, reaching out, reaching in, shaping new work, adjusting, preparing, and eventually, presenting.

I.NY, like everything else in our days now, will be a very different thing in 2020 than what had been planned. We’re very lucky to be able to say, that in many ways, that’s not a bad thing. Now that so much is digital-only, and we’re so apart from one another, the condition somehow fits the very thought of I.NY, the deeper purpose of it. . . to try, through stories, to shorten the distance between us Irish here at home, and our Irish in New York. That’s an easier gap to tackle digitally than by plane and train and yellowcab. For today, at least.

There’s been plenty of changes to digest and bend to, with the two main results for the 2020 I.NY Festival very simply being a full move online, and a change of date from our mid–October days & nights to the first week of December. A host of information to come your way in the coming weeks, if you’re happy to receive it, and what we hope and intend to be a challenging, engaging and warming programme, which will be with you on December 1.

In the meantime, love from the I.NY office. Stay well and stay hopeful!
