Curated by Broadcaster Ann Marie Kelly, this event features a powerful collection of work by a diverse group of 10 young teenagers and adults (aged 14–22) living in Laois.

Representing rich and diverse heritages—including 1st generation Irish backgrounds, Zimbabwean, Filipino, Syrian, and more—these young creators use film, audio, and photography to express themselves, honour their heritages and cultures, and celebrate our differences.

This project acts as a living time capsule, capturing what their world is like right now at this exact moment in time to become tomorrow's history. This project was funded by Creative Ireland Laois and the evening was sponsored by LOETB.
