Mental health has always been a feminist issue. As part of First Fortnight, The Anti Room’s Anna Carey and Sinead Gleeson will lead a panel, including Dolls director Sorcha Kenny, in a discussion about women and mental illness and how these issues are depicted in the media and popular culture. The Anti Room was founded in 2008 by four Dublin-based journalists and has been the home of Irish women writing about everything from fashion to feminism, from pop culture to politics. Anna Carey, an acclaimed author and Irish Times journalist, along with fellow journalist and broadcaster Sinead Gleeson, began hosting regular Anti Room podcasts in 2012 with guests including broadcaster Miriam O’Callaghan and comedian Maeve Higgins. Expect lively, inspiring and thoughtful discussion.
Tickets are €5 (excl. fee) but can be purchased free of cost along with a ticket for Dolls (subject to availability).
