For this episode I visited two venues in Helsinki: Asbestos Art Space, for an exhibition interview, and Musta Kissa bar, for Irish folk music jam. Eoin O'Dowd is a visual artist and musician, and he talks us through his exhibition Behind the Walls Tickling the Bricks while educating us on Irish culture, and explaining how he connects to his homeland from abroad. We get to know about religious influences in his works - Christian and folklore mysticism, we talk music- and pub traditions, and we even learn a bit about sports!
