With deep love and sadness, we remember our beloved collective member Melody Chinenyanga (née Chadamoyo).

On August 6th, 2026, Melody passed away peacefully in Dublin, Ireland, in the presence of family and friends.

Melody will be dearly missed by those who had the privilege of her beautifully creative and loving presence in their lives. Her passion for bettering the community and the world around her will forever be felt and carried on by those she leaves behind. Her infectious smile will always shine in our hearts. Melody’s mastery of logistics and unwavering ability to tell it as it is will be deeply missed. May we continue to be bold, confident, and courageous in her honour.


Reposing at her home, 5 Oakdale Grove, D24 T2P1, on Friday, 21st August, from 5pm. Funeral Service on Saturday, 22nd August, at 11am in Rathfarnham Parish Church of Ireland, Main St., Rathfarnham and afterwards to Newlands Cross Crematorium.

Those attending the funeral are invited to wear bright colours in memory of Melody.

May Melody Rest in Peace.

We are still thinking back to this fascinating workshop with on how arts and drama methods can be used in anti-racism education, hosted by the School of Education .

Rachael’s session brought huge learnings and insight into how to create spaces for learners and participants to understand and fully engage in effective anti-racism education. We are thrilled to have shared in her hugely important and urgent research.
