April – Mid October 2014
Early in 2012 a group of women adventurers started an expedition, a journey to explore the local territory of Dublin, a largely unknown city. The women all live in Dublin – some came originally from Ireland, others came from England, France, India, Sri Lanka, Colombia, Uganda, Somalia, The Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. Each foray started out from their base camp in the Lantern Centre in Synge Street Dublin 8. They took recording instruments and documentary tools on their journeys and displayed a map made of their discoveries in addition to artefacts collected and the results of their research.
During the residency in studio 468 Laragh Pittman proposes to work again with the women’s group established for the Museum of the Refound in 2012 and to welcome new participants to establish a new creative project. Building a future collaboration, the studio will be a venue to discuss, construct and question the nature of cultural diversity and the position of both audience and artist/creator.
