BASE
Earlier this year, Viva Dean and Aisling Phelan applied to Dublin City Council, and they’ve successfully secured a 10-week lease on a studio space right by Connolly Station. Their vision was to transform it into an incredible public art space, BASE, and now it's taking shape! Driven by a feminist ethos, BASE is a space where creativity and tech come together through workshops, exhibitions, and performances. Inspired by the void left by the Science Gallery’s closure, BASE is all about experimenting, learning, and building community. Check out their website for information on membership, timeline and events!
EMAP's Petition to Reinstate Funding for Media and Digital Arts Platforms
The European Union has recently decided to end funding for media and digital arts platforms through the Creative Europe programme, starting next year. This decision undermines the EU’s focus on digitalisation and its efforts to address media illiteracy and disinformation. It also jeopardises the future of platforms like the European Media Art Platform (EMAP), which has successfully supported 150 artists and produced internationally recognised projects. See the link below for EMAP's petition to reinstate the funding.
