Welcome to a brand new episode of the 'Who Art Thou?' podcast!Today I am joined by Conor Leech. Recently finishing his time with NCAD, Conor is a Graphic Designer working through photography, print and typography.Most recently, which is how I came across his work, he completed his final year project for college, which was titled 'Stardust 81', which focused on the Stardust Nightclub fire in Artane, Dublin on the 14th of February, 1981.His grandmother lost her 3 children in the fire and has been fighting for justice ever since. Through his work, Conor hopes to bring the attention of the disaster to younger generations, maintain it in the minds of the publics and for the surivors stories to be heard.He explored these stories and challeneges through photography, book design, posters and a short film.A truly profound project and experty put together, I would encourage anybody to go see Conor's work.
