A brand new exhibition will address some of the racial, ethnic and cultural barriers faced by many when trying to access the Dublin's swimming pools .
The exhibition, which is called ‘Mami Wata: Mmiri niile', will take place at the Sean McDermott Street Swimming Pool in Dublin 1. The work artist Chinedum Muotto tells the story of eight African women across the city who have learned how to swim.
As part of a Creative Residency in Art & Sport in 2021 Chinedum Muotto put a call out to women of African descent from across Dublin to join a group to learn how to swim. He also wanted to add a creative element to the group by allowing the women to discuss their relationship with water on their way to becoming swimmers.
