A Space In-Between, hosted by Helena McElmeel Architects
>>> Venue, The Old Road, Kilcolgan
12:00 – 16:00 h, Saturday 11 October
All are welcome, no booking required
A community celebration on Kilcolgan’s Old Road with art, music, and dialogue, showcasing its potential as a vibrant shared public space.
A Space In-Between will transform part of Kilcolgan’s Old Road into a vibrant, car-free community space. Central to the project are local children, who will take part in fieldwork with artists and architects and a creative workshops in school. Their findings will form a temporary installation, giving voice to how they see Kilcolgan today, and how its public spaces might support play, safety and connection in the future. The installation will be open to all, offering a sensory, reflective space that invites visitors to pause and experience the qualities that define Kilcolgan. The space will allow for gathering, imagination and dialogue – providing an opportunity to share ideas for the village’s future and to view concept designs. During the day, the event will celebrate community - a space shaped by community, and responsive to it.
