Collective Futures 2025: July – December
Clodagh is a Trini-Irish anti-disciplinary artist and curator based in Dublin. Clodagh is influenced by the traditions of Black feminist thought and their work is rooted in diasporic memory, the politics of care, and practices of refusal. Through their writing and experimentation with material forms, they critique architecture, language, memory, and modes of marginalisation — making space for what is often obscured, withheld, or unspeakable.
Common Ground is delighted to announce the second residency of Collective Futures 2025. Artist and Curator, Clodagh Assata Boyce will take up residency in studio 468 from July 2025 until January 2026.
During their residency Clodagh will be inviting 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’ will 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 will create oppositional knowledge, aesthetics, maps and guides potently acting as an emergence of something new that cannot be scripted, until those encounters occur on site, in studio 468.
