This is a space in which we can share media (texts/podcasts/poetry etc) for meet ups. It is also a space to build upon discussions, ideas and chats that have happened on meet ups or across other parts of life. Welcome :)

''Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -
The public spaces of our cities are under siege from planners, privatisation and increased surveillance. Our streets are becoming ever more lifeless and ordered. What is to be done? Can disorder be designed? Join Pablo Sendra, Richard Sennett, and Andrés Jaque for an exploration of urban spontaneity by means of design.
“Timely and relevant...For both Sennett and Sendra, cities are at their best when they resist homogeneity and promote difference, and when they empower people to actively shape and reshape their built environment and its public uses.”
– Eoin Ó Broin, Irish Times

On 26/11/20 Jenn applied for funding from the Carlow Arts Wedge Fund to ask for support for developing the Outdoor Walking Book Club Mobile Book-Club House.
The idea for this was to:
1 - Acquire books on artistic interventions and theory addressing public space and the commons for the purpose of building a shared material library.
2 - Acquire a bike trailer, box and bungees to house and transport a small library
3 - Develop the Outdoor Walking Bookclub programme to reach a wider audience of people and serve as a site where artist/citizens may meet, present projects or proposals, socialize and of course, discuss books on loan or book club texts!
