Collective Futures 2025: July to December

Clodagh Assata Boyce was awarded Common Ground’s Collective Futures residency in studio 468, from July 2025 to January 2026.
During their residency Clodagh invited people from wider Dublin 8 to collectively investigate and explore the white spatial imaginary and to reimagine our neighbourhoods and the City. These ‘Pedagogies of Encounter’ engage international black feminist methodologies combined with collective research, writing and reading groups, film screenings, community sharing, mapping and zine making. These ‘en-counters’ create counter knowledge and strategies to dismantle the white spatial imaginary. All combined create oppositional knowledge, aesthetics, maps and guides potently acting as an emergence of something new that cannot be scripted, until those encounters occurred on site, in studio 468.
