They come over here.

Contextualising our existential crises.

Dundalk-based, Cologne-born Marcel Kreuger (him off the telly) writes:

The Corridor is a series of events organised by new Dundalk residents Anne Mager (arts curator) and myself (writer and translator), both migrants from Germany.

To explore our new home and to engage with the new Brexit border just a few miles up the road, we invited artists from Ireland and Germany to work, talk and perform with the border in mind.

Our first event series is a collaboration with the 1st German Electrophonic Orchestra, who are making noise and acoustically measuring Belfast, Dundalk, Drogheda and Dublin together with Irish artists Paddy Bloomer, Aoife Ward and Sean Hillen all day today on Culture Night, and which will continue next week with all Irish artists in Cologne.

Upcoming events in October and November include a fish dinner with fishermen from both sides of the Carlingford Lough, and a reading with authors like Garett Carr and Paul Scraton who have walked the Irish border and the former Berlin Wall, respectively.

In fairness.

Earlier this week, with a 150 EURO voucher to spend onBASE London footwear at Genius, Dublin 2, we asked you to explain why your feet deserve such comfy booty.

You answered in your tens.

But there could be only one winner.

In reverse order so…

Liam Deliverance:

“I deserve some BASE London footwear particularly at the moment owing to the fact I have never owned a good pair of leather shoes, I have a Dunnes pair that I wear on the rare occasion that I also wear a suit and they are 14 years old. Rest of the time it’s Motorbike boots (which is where the footwear budget goes) or hikers/runners. A fancy quality pair would be nice treat, I could probably get a good 20 year out of them!”

Joe Blogs:

“I deserve some BASE London footwear particularly at the moment owing to the fact that i’ll be in the Public Domain everyday so I need my Base in the Place, London!”

Leopold Gloom:

“I deserve some BASE London footwear particularly at the moment owing to I have weird feet, each of a noticeably different size and due to years of overlooked injuries it bloody impossible to get a decent pair for them without spending a sizable portion, that and all my shoes are manky”

Winner!

Kolmo:

“I deserve some BASE London footwear particularly at the moment owing to my motorbike dying on me this morning, this caused me to be an hour late for work, and until I can afford repairs, will increase my commute from a reasonable 90 minutes a day to 3.5 hours a day. Having to walk a lot more, wear and tear on shoes will become an issue to the point were I neither afford to replace my worn out shoes and repair the motorbike. leaving me shoeless and driven to the edge of reason due to the laughably, but not funny, long commutes.”

Thanks all

Further to reports that more than 420,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled violent attacks by Buddhists in Myanmar.

Trayvon writes:

We are into the second week of this but finally a European leader has called this for what it is [French President Emmanuel Macron has said attacks on Myanmar’s Rohingya minority amounted to “genocide].

it is now time to rescind Aung San Suu Kyi of ALL the honours she picked up on her Bono-led tour of Ireland We cannot and should not honour apologists for genocide.
