Unearthed – Dublin working class literary voices

About Unearthed – Dublin working class literary voices

Unearthed is a five part series that captures a wide diversity of Dubliners reading their original poetry and prose. In many cases we hear Dublin working class accents and voices not often associated with the literary world. Many of the writers featured are drawn from the Working Class Writing Archive (WCWA). Through performance and discussion, we celebrate their writing and examine why writing from this background is often excluded from the mainstream Arts sector. We’ll also hear from practitioners, academics and established writers from working class backgrounds.
