GOBLIN Goblin is Ireland’s first skateboard magaz
ine in a decade. “Our attempt is to bring together the different facets of skateboarding under one roof so that we can give a unique insight into the talented work throughout the country that skateboarders produce,” says Philip Halton. The first issue features interviews with photographer Craig Dodds, Cian Eades, and High Rollers Skate Shop’s Naoise McCarthy, a piece on Craig “Questions” Scott by Phil Evans, Irish D.I.Y and an article on the relationship between architecture and skateboarding. Available in High Rollers in the basement of Bedford Stuy Barbers, 1 Cope Street, Temple Bar. ROADMAP Michael McDermott CORRESPONDENCES ANTHOLOGY Poet Jessica Traynor and actor Stephen Rea are calling for expressions of interest for inclusion in a once-off arts anthology to raise awareness of inhumanity of direct provision in Ireland, and to call for an end to a system that the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has called ‘a severe violation of human rights’. They are seeking expressions of interest from artists and writers working in the genres of prose, visual arts, journalism, essay, poetry and photography, and who have experienced or are experiencing direct provision in Ireland. It’s not required that the work submitted solely reflect the artists’ experiences in direct provision. Those included in the anthology and engaging in the mentorship process will be paid a fee. The anthology will be published in Autumn 2019, with all proceeds from the sale going to MASI.

She strolls into town on Saturday March 23 (Vicar Street). 8
