Dylan Haskins (born 20 June 1987) is an Irish television personality and social entrepreneur.
Career
Haskins is best known for his work on RTÉ television and radio. He presented the first season of Two Tube on RTÉ Two and since May 2010 has reported for Arena, an arts show on RTÉ Radio 1. He has also been an occasional panelist on Newstalk's Saturday Edition, a news and current affairs programme.
Haskins first achieved media attention for the intimate gigs run in his home, The Hideaway House, in Dublin and his independent record label Hide Away Records.[1][2][3][4] Hide Away Records is a small label with its most notable release by Irish band Heathers.[5][6][7] In May 2009 Haskins founded the Exchange Dublin arts centre in Temple Bar.[8][9] The arts centre is now run by a collective of volunteers and provides a space for meetings, events and exhibitions. Much of Haskins' work has been associated with Project Arts Centre in Dublin and he now sits on its Board of Directors.
Film
In 2008 Haskins directed a penetrative 27 minute documentary film about 'do-it-yourself' counterculture called Roll Up Your Sleeves interviewing figures such as Ian Mackaye, Ellen Lupton and Dutch punk band The Ex. Roll Up Your Sleeves was screened at the 2009 IFI Stranger Than Fiction Festival.[10] In January 2011 the film made available online and received praise from Irish, German, US and British media. [11]
Masked debate
In August 2009 Haskins organised a masked debate about culture in Dublin city in Meeting House Square in Temple Bar in Dubln. The entire audience wore masks to conceal their identity while debating the question "Is this city fit for purpose?".[12][13]
