(It's me again!) The thought that struck me most forcibly when looking at the video piece was a reminder that the places we are looking at are not only dwelling places but passageways to elsewhere, making a street into two opposing strips of housing divided by a river in which transient strangers flow. How well do people on opposite sides know each other? Are we looking at two communities or one divided by the needs of commuting modernity?
Placing Voices - Voicing Places is a collaborative investigation and mediation of the contemporary heritages and material cultures of inner-city Dublin. Clanbrassil St and the Monto will be explored throughout Autumn and Winter 2008 through archaeology, art, digital storytelling, photography and sociology. The project hopes to inspire news understandings of the co-temporal qualities of the things both known, forgotten and sometimes remembered about the places we civically share.
