Research Projects & Collaborations
Placing Voices - Voicing Places: Dublins Contemporary Past
Placing Voices - Voicing Places is a collaborative investigation and mediation of the contemporary heritages and material cultures of inner-city Dublin. Clanbrassil St and the Monto will be explored throughout Autumn and Winter 2008 through archaeology, art, digital storytelling, photography and sociology. Funded by the Heritage Council of Ireland, project is a collaboration between University College Dublin (Schools of Archaeology, Sociology and Art History and Cultural Policy), Dublin City Council, Dublin Folklore and CREATE. The project hopes to inspire news understandings of the co-temporal qualities of the things both known, forgotten and sometimes remembered about the places we civically share.
