dublin | miscellaneous | event notice Thursday February 05, 2009 06:39 by Declan - Seomra Spraoi

Hey all,
here's the outline timetable for the launch weekend for the new Seomra Spraoi.

Seomra Spraoi is an autonomous social centre in Dublin city centre. It is run by a non-hierarchical collective on a not-for-profit basis. It hosts workshops, political meetings, film screenings and lots more. The centre seeks to be a hub of positive resistance, in a city and society where public spaces have been eaten away by consumerism, property speculation and the culture of the car.

Our new space is at 10 Belvidere Court, off Gardiner Street in Dublin 1. There's a map/directions on our website at http://www.seomraspraoi.org
If you'd like to get involved in Seomra Spraoi, you can email us at seomraspraoi@gmail.com for more details
