Collective Futures
COLLECTIVE FUTURES is a new community based residency award offering a collaborative or socially engaged artist / arts collective / community of practice an opportunity of an 8 month residency in studio 468. The timing of the award coincides with the period of time in which Dublin 8, the area in which Common Ground works and is located, faces new and ongoing opportunities and challenges.
In April 2024 it was awarded to the art collective, School of Thought, with artist Augustine O’Donoghue, and historian and educator Dr Conor Mc Cabe. School of Thought will use a range of research-creation methodologies to collaboratively engage with residents across different communities across Dublin 8. Together and with others they will creatively explore, unpack and make visible some of the forces shaping and defining our collective futures.
