Three years in and we’re still the baby festival in Ireland’s festival County. We are very proud of what we have achieved with modest funding but we want to take it further. AKA exists because of a demand; a demand for space, a demand for a platform, a demand from creative people to be part of a movement towards collaborative and community arts in Kilkenny.
We see the importance of the interaction of people through arts as a means of breaking down barriers of inequality and the use of creativity as a driver of inclusion and celebration of our shared values. AKA is needed now more than ever.
So here you have in your hands the collective force of nature that is AKA Fringe for 2017.
