MARKING 25
Common Ground has been working across the communities of Inchicore, Rialto and Bluebell since 1999. To mark and acknowledge our work throughout the last 25 years we have begun to organise our archive, which will be handed over to the National Library of Ireland in 2025.
Alongside the archive we have created the commission MARKING 25 to celebrate the 25 years of work with artists and the community. This is in particular response to the breadth of audiovisual documentation housed in the archive.
We have commissioned artists Frank Sweeney and Veronica Dyas to work together on site with full access to Common Ground’s archive. This collaborative artistic commission will draw from archive paper files along with the audiovisual documentation in the archive, creating a written/film/art work.
Frank is an artist with a research-based practice, using found material to approach questions of collective memory, experience and identity through film and sound.
Veronica is an artist working primarily through new text, installation and performance.
