The EFACIS Kaleidoscope Series engages with writers and artists from the island of Ireland about topical interests. While Kaleidoscope 1 collected fifty observations about the act of writing fiction, Kaleidoscope 2 asked what Europe means to the authors.

Kaleidoscope 3 explores views on Faith, Spirituality and Art. A quarter of the way into the twenty-first century we look back on the wide variety of ways in which religion has shaped the emotions and ideas of people in Ireland. As many religious institutions have lost much of their credibility in (Northern)Ireland and elsewhere, authors explore new perspectives on the sacred. As they look at their own daily life, the quality of attention is a central factor. 

The texts will be published on this website between February and June 2026. This EFACIS project is funded by the Druwé fund, Herman Servotte fund and the Irish College Leuven.
