City Fusion is a community project which celebrates cultural diversity and promotes ethnic inclusion in the city of Dublin. Now in it’s 4th year, City Fusion will celebrate cultural diversity in the capital with its St. Patrick’s Festival pageant ‘The Shadows of Colour’.
Ninety individuals from as far and wide as Belarus to Zimbabwe come together as one body to shine a light on the extraordinary world of colour. With energy and gusto the 2010 City Fusion pageant creates a vivid display of individuality and will explore the beauty of light and colour that co exists with the shadow of darkness which resonates in us all.
City Fusion poses the question - Did St. Patrick truly manage to banish all the snakes from Ireland or are there snakes still lurking in the shadows?
Designed by Sabine Dargent, Directed by Muirne Bloomer with a wonderful team of professional artists and the lively and dedicated participation of 90 individuals from Lithuania, Belarus, Jamaica, Botswana, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Indonesia, Cameroon, The Phillipines, Holland, Zimbabwe and of course Ireland.
As part of City Fusion and in association with the British Council programme ‘OPENCities’, St. Patrick’s Festival has developed a Photography programme involving community groups based in Dublin and taking part in the 2010 City Fusion Pageant. Foto Fusion is supported by FUJIPIX.ie.
