Research and Development

In 2021 a consortium led by Tallaght Community Arts were delighted to be awarded a Creative Places research project award for Mac Uíllíam Estate and its residents by the Arts Council of Ireland.  

The Creative Places Mac Uíllíam team led by coordinator Jennifer Webster began local conversations to discuss and plan a range of creative projects for the residents of Mac Uíllíam Estate in 2021/22. 

The core team were supported by Dr Victoria Durrer as a Research Advisor. Victoria supported the team in designing and delivering the research process as well as taking part in reflective meetings in which core team members discussed and reflected upon their experiences and learning to-date. She also engaged in a number of social scientific approaches, particularly semi-structured online interviews and walking interviews on site in MacUíllíam and with residents and service providers. 

Our projects were led by the Creative Places Mac Uíllíam artist team with the active participation of the local community.
