As a socially-engaged artist new(ish) to living in Dublin, my practice is decently informed by my history of painting murals here (and around Ireland) since the age of fifteen. Marvelling at the social makeup of this complex city, it’s as enthralling to me now as it was when I was a teenager trudging suitcases of spraypaint up cobblestones. I’ve been lucky to gain so many friends and skills through the medium of street art and spectacle, and have fond memories of travelling for commercial gigs and painting with peers at the old Bernard Shaw and the All City Tivoli Jam. Thank you @emmaleneblake for inviting me as well as to @waterfordwalls and @seedheadarts for having me on painting festival lineups!

Like the rest of us though, I’m frustrated by the city’s dissonance. The dishonest outward projection of ‘arts appreciation’ doesn’t alleviate the precarity of a livelihood dedicated to making art, and the constant choice to invest in development over the people who actually build culture weighs on us all. Having participated in and been privy to art actions fueled by community togetherness and a response to that precarity, I was delighted when Lamia asked me to craft a walking tour of visual ephemera in aid of PBP’s ‘Stand Up for the Arts’ campaign. @lahmiyaah 👑 @people_before_profit

I really agree with PBP’s policies and their active stance against cultural spaces being buffed out. I have the PBP Arts Policy via the link in my bio. Support PBP’s brilliant Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin in the May Dublin Central by-election! @pbpdublincentral @eoghanoceannabhain

Across 15 sites, we observed motifs of development and decay; from activist visuals, colonial architecture, and revolutionary social housing to contemporary displays of surveillance capitalism, meshing of public and private commissions, and sites honoring local legends like The Diceman. All of these spots are caught in tenuous overlap - claimed by image-makers, graffiti-writers, advertisers and/or institutional powers.

I think exposing the means of production behind public art can help make sense of the policy-heavy context in which these works are created and removed.
