Over the course of two months the group have explored areas across Dublin city considering how we can re-imagine our civic society.

The project was based at thisisnotashop on Benburb Street Dublin 7 where there was information and an exhibition of ideas for the city. Mind The Gap is an Absolut Fringe Commission. Participants: Michelle Browne, Siobhan Carroll, Carolann Courtney, Mark Durkan, John Holten, Colm Keller, Issac Lawless, Bryan O'Connell, Jeni Roddy, Naomi Ronan, Tom Walsh, Chong Wang.

 

'Occasionally we come across an initiative which truly thrills us by exploring possibilities for our beloved city and its future. Michelle Browne’s ‘Mind the Gap’ project as part of the Fringe festival is one of these. Michelle is not just minding the gap, she’s making us aware of the chasm and showing us how to jump it.'
