All Together Now has announced the programme for the fifth chapter of the All Curious Minds Arena.

Described as the festival’s “cultural enclave,” and a “nexus of creatives and commentators from a richly diverse sweep of disciplines,” All Curious Minds will welcome international best-selling novelist Marian Keyes (Rachel’s Holiday, My Favourite Mistake…), who will reflect on her thirty-year writing life with radio broadcaster and Something Happens frontman, Tom Dunne.

Actors Clare Dunne and Emmett J Scanlan will examine the multiple IFTA-winning crime drama series Kin with the show’s creator and writer Peter McKenna, and in the company of novelist Nicole Flattery.

Other guests include pundit, podcaster and psychotherapist Richie Sadlier, novelist Peter Murphy, singer-songwriter David Keenan and more.

This year, All Curious Minds will also debut the Global Solidarity Hub, an area which “will bring together some of the leading practitioners and the greatest minds working for the advancement of global social justice,” with a programme curated by Dóchas, GOAL, Sightsavers Ireland and Trócaire.

All Together Now has also announced the return of Seanchoíche, the “storytelling night founded in Dublin and currently taking place across the world in cities like London and Melbourne.”
