• Our festival installation is: Con:Temporary Quarters by Aoife Ward and Eve Woods which pushes back against overdevelopment of temporary living quarters (PBSA, co-living, apart-hotels), and the removal and privatisation of spaces previously used for community, arts and culture.

  
  

• Our festival mural is: A fusion of contrast by Nickie Harrington and Kinseart. Two distinct styles, once immersive mural. Nickie's bold, structured, and vibrant optical art collides beautifully with Kinseart's fluid, intuitive line illustrations. Together, they create a flowing visual journey that winds through the gallery-melding order and chaos into one dynamic collaboration.

Céad Míle (Fail)te embodies the infantilisation inherent in housing degradation. With the rentier class subservient to technocratic policies the claustrophobic body horror is communicated through an affronting artifice of intelligence smothering its occupant as it tells a tale of lotteries for coffin homes, the relinquishing of cityspace to corporations and their cooling towers, and compulsory wellness protocols. Utilising sci-fi tropes, housing and policy jargon Con: temporary Quarters continue their scathing critique of the substandard design of our built environment through satirical performance; this time with the help of the patriarchal man-bot who wants you to live with(in) him!
