Ms Freda Manweiler:
We have a little dream. We would love to have an arts centre in Ireland that would focus on using the arts for human rights and peace-building and have some way of capturing all the great work that is being done by arts organisations and the learning that has taken place as a result of the peace process on this island. We could be some kind of flagship for Europe in terms of how the arts are used in this way. European artists could be brought in to learn from us, although why should we confine ourselves to Europe? Why not the world?
