Join us for a live conversation in Cork exploring the design, meaning and value of public space in our lives

IAF Podcasts - Public Domain

What does it mean to be public in Ireland today?

Our first series, Public Domain, sees IAF going on a national tour across Ireland, meeting people where they are with the urgent conversation about what it means to be public in Ireland today. The second event of the series takes place in Limerick with a conversation about migrants and public space.

Public space is part of everyday life, from the streets, squares, parks, pitches and rooms where we meet and gather to the formal and informal shared spaces of our towns, cities and landscapes. But experiences of public spaces vary between different communities of place and interest. Through an architecture-lens, Public Domain explores the wider idea of publicness: who our shared spaces are for, how they are experienced, used and valued, and who has a voice in shaping them.

Each live conversation will be recorded and subsequently released through IAF Podcasts, allowing the ideas, experiences and stories shared in each city to reach listeners across Ireland and beyond.
