Arts in the City

Call for Participants!

A selected group of 12 participants will explore The Dublin Fringe Festival archive of temporary site specific works made in and for Dublin city over the past 30 years to question how we understand the city, how the city shapes our lives and how we shape the city.

Michelle Browne from NCAD’s Department of Sculpture and Expanded Practice & colleagues from UCD School of English Drama and Film and guest lecturers will work with participants to think about how art has responded to Dublin city in the past and how art can create the space for conversation and action around how we as a society would like the city to change and grow. At a time of unprecedented homelessness, change and upheaval in Dublin, how can we look back at the past to learn and develop responses to our present and future?

Participants will work over a period of 6 weeks with guest speakers from various fields including Dublin City Council parks and architecture departments, UCD drama department, and various community stakeholders to develop a series of works that will be presented will be presented as part of Dublin Fringe Festival in September.
