Behind The Future

Ever wonder where the first bra came from? Or why we use touchscreens? Or better yet, who the first activist was? Why are we repeating history? Join Sarah Dervin, a history graduate and Meabh McCrossan, an aspiring writer, for a chat about all things history and why they’re relevant today. From the smallest objects that shaped our world to the largest movements that invoked change. We invite you to sit down, relax and join the conversation about what has been forgotten in our past and remembering how we got to where we are today.
