Stove Network Exchange

Ailbhe had the pleasure of visiting the Stove Network in Dumfries, Scotland as part of the Workhouse Union exchange taking place throughout the year. This exchange was exciting and allowed Ailbhe to discover the social ecosystems that exist when a sustained creative engagement with a place continues long term. The What We Do Now network event was an opportunity to discuss approaches to creative placemaking, and to reflect on emerging practice and projects in Ireland. Workhouse EXCHANGE is a programme of creative workshops, artist residencies, and community skills exchanges to revitalise the Callan Workhouse site.
