This week we are rebroad­cast­ing our inter­view with Pdraig ” Tua­ma, orig­i­nal­ly aired in Sep­tem­ber of 2019. The Isle of ire (Ire­land) is rich with sto­ries held by the land, both ancient and mod­ern, laden with both fierce cul­ture and colo­nial vio­lence. Pdraig ” Tua­ma per­ceives these com­plex lay­ers of his­to­ry with acute insights into the lin­ger­ing impacts of impe­ri­al­ism and sec­tar­i­an­ism that have divid­ed Ire­land. By acknowl­edg­ing deeply root­ed cul­tur­al pain, Pdraig calls for Irish, Eng­lish, and the rest of us to heal by reck­on­ing with the past and embrac­ing the cre­ative poten­tial held with­in our dif­fer­ences. Enter a poet­ic jour­ney where the land awaits us beyond the divide of bor­ders, his­to­ry, and suf­fer­ing. Ayana and Pdraig explore the lan­guage of uncom­mon belong­ing; how we must learn from our shame, the life cycle of vio­lence, and how to con­front the inher­i­tance of priv­i­lege. Poet and the­olo­gian, Pdraig ” Tua­mas work cen­ters around themes of lan­guage, pow­er, con­flict, and reli­gion. Pdraig presents Poet­ry Unbound with On Being Stu­dios and in late 2019 was named The­olo­gian in Res­i­dence for On Being, inno­vat­ing in bring­ing art and the­ol­o­gy into pub­lic and civic life. From 2014 – 2019 he was the leader of the Cor­rymeela Com­mu­ni­ty, Ire­land’s old­est peace and rec­on­cil­i­a­tion community.
