174: #174: Ceci N'est Pas Une Gickna - Louise Selkies Ní Chuilinn

When he’s not beavering away at this very podcast, Darach does a bit of work with the Irish Arts Center in New York as part of their word of the week project. This allows him to collaborate with some exciting and talented artists, such as today’s guest Louise Ní Chuilinn (as known as Selkies). Louise, an Irish speaker living in Brussels, tells Darach and Peadar about that city’s artistic scene, such as the bandes dessinées which French learners in Ireland love so well. She talks about her collaboration with our own Gearóidín on the Peig masks, the mythological background to her illustrations for Darach’s words of the week, considers the culture of bilingualism in her new home and explains what a gickna is.
