This online panel was guest curated by the Trauma Informed Placemaking project founders, Dr Anita Mckeown and Dr Cara Courage, and featured five of its global cohort of creative and research practitioners – Aisling Rusk, Karen Till with Michal Huss, Brian Jay De Lima Ambulo, and Jeff Poulin – covering projects from Ireland to the Philippines and topics from working in post-disaster places and with young people.
This event is a rare opportunity to hear from several of the projects represented in the Trauma Informed Placemaking textbook forthcoming from Routledge, to continue to build on the community of praxis that Cara and Anita have convened, and to provide space for deeper discussion into the role and responsibilities of placemaking as a practice which can heal as well as amplify trauma.
Join us in Headford as part of the Something In The Water Festival for an informal presentation and discussion on how vacant buildings in town centres can be reimagined for cultural use, facilitated by the Irish Architecture Foundation.
