This scene from the intro of The Chaos Engine remains a favourite of mine. The metallic yet pastel palette, the way the head breaks the frame, the sense of scale, the interesting approach to sculpted anatomy - lovely stuff by @trimfone3! ^_^
Tune in today at 3.30pm for a fascinating talk on Women's Lives in 18th Century China. Join Dr. Isabella Jackson of @tcddublin School of Histories and Humanities and Miss Xun Liu of @TCDAsianStudies as they dissect the classic novel 'The Dream of the Red Chambers'. #WomensStories

This is a new website I’ve been working on for the past year or so in Near FM. And we launched it just last night.
Near Archive is a digital audio database of interviews, which were originally broadcast on Near FM’sflagship community affairs programme Northside Today between the years 2011 and 2016.
The content reflects upon the themes of Irish Culture, Life and Experience with a particular emphasis on local arts and culture, local news, history, heritage and community events. There are currently over 1000 interviews in the database.
Near Archive has been assembled with the input of expert partners including the Digital Repository of Ireland and Dublin City Council Library and Archive. In addition a cross-sectoral approach to archiving has been established through CRAOL, the national body for community radio.
Near Archive can be accessed by visiting www.archive.ie where content can be streamed or downloaded and runs on a Creative Commons license.
