We are delighted to partner with Irish Arts Centre in NYC as part of Féile na Gaeilge / Irish Language Day 2026!

Seanchoíche—a storytelling night founded in Dublin—is a night for people from all corners, backgrounds, and identities to come together to listen and engage with stories told by volunteer speakers. These stories can range from personal anecdotes, to poetry pieces, to spoken word, fictional narratives, and anything in between. As part of Irish Language Day 2026, Seanchoíche is curating and hosting a evening of stories in the Irish language (they can also be told in English) on the theme of Abhaile or "Home.” 

“Empathy is remembering that everybody has a story. Multiple stories.”—Kae Tempest
