    Art as a Community Forum E11

    Art does more than question our surroundings. It can also serve as a community forum, as Cliona Maher explains in this congversation. Show notes at http://www.insideview.ie/2018/12/congversation-11.html with music by Andre Louis. 00:33 If someone used five words to find you on Google—and one of those words was Cliona—what would the other four words be? It depends _why_ people were looking for Cliona. 00:58 What sorts of imagery, video clips, audio snippets, or other forms of media text are associated with Cliona Maher? You would probably find pictures of Cliona with others. 03:10 The 2019 theme of Congregation is “community”. How important is the role of art in the development of a vibrant community?

You could go directly to @southtipparts or to @clionama.
