Our Place 2025-26

With funding from Rethink Ireland, Carlow Arts Festival has commissioned the Our Place team to develop a collection of sound and technology artworks with people attending the Delta Centre day service. Through a series of workshops led by co-designers from St John of God Liffey Services, the groups will share their stories, discuss their rights and develop audio-based artworks that will be included in an immersive installation to be exhibited at Carlow Arts Festival 2026.

Foundational to this is a body of research that gathers together knowledge from across the arts and disability sectors to learn from and implement within CAF as an organisation and across the arts sector. This is being done in collaboration with Create Ireland, the national development agency for collaborative arts, and Safe to Create, a programme for the Irish arts and creative sectors to promote dignity at work.
