  • PATHOS GUIDING PRINCIPLES

    Chapter in Stranger lands still bear common ground (2025)

    Authors: Ailbhe McDaid, Julie Morrissy, Leah Smith

    In November 2025, our co-authored PATHOS Guiding Principles were published as a chapter in the TULCA exhibition book Strange lands still bear common ground, edited by Beulah Ezeugo. The chapter includes our article titled “‘Not a fixed line—Co-Creating the PATHOS Guiding Principles”, which offers a full exploration of the Guiding Principles and their origins in the PATHOS Workshop Series 2025. The article illuminates the workshop conversations, with direct quotations from our PATHOS participants, and shows the full picture of our co-creation processes.

    PATHOS partnered with the Dublin Book Festival and Irish Pages for “Conflict and Creation”, an event featuring three PATHOS participants: Atoosa Pour Hosseini, Ciarán O’Rourke and Suad Aldarra, and Ukrainian journalist and writer Natalya Korniyenko. Hosted by Ailbhe McDaid and Julie Morrissy, we were lucky to also have some of our PATHOS artists in the audience.
