Creative Spark said it is excited to host a photo documentary project, "Faces of Fusion," by Rochelle Lazaro at the Downtown Hub on Clanbrassil Street Dundalk.
The exhibition will run for two weeks, commencing tomorrow, Friday March 8th with an official opening event at 6pm.
"Faces of Fusion" is a powerful campaign developed as part of the AGENCY: Vote with Her project, aimed at enhancing the understanding of over 60 women with migrant backgrounds across Europe about EU processes.
These women have actively engaged with projects to promote migrant women's political participation, particularly in the context of the 2024 European Parliament elections.
