Students zine a new Irish Contemporary Art Zine has collaborated with a recent pedestrianisation initiative in Gorey, Co. Wexford called “Pedestrianise Gorey Main Street”. Pedestrianise Gorey Main Street’s core aim is to show that there is support within the local for more pedestrian friendly streets.
With this open call Students zine wants to encourage, support and promote the ideas, capabilities and problem solving abilities of artists, architects and urban designers in developing innovative research projects and sustainable solutions for the town of Gorey.
Objective
Life Between Buildings is an open call for innovative ideas and research.
Students zine believes that towns across Ireland should open up, invite and include people in their development, having different activities and possibilities and thereby ensuring multiplicity and diversity.
Life Between Buildings is open for creative ideas that encourage pedestrian / bicycling friendly streets that could be applied within the town of Gorey, whether interesting new street design or layout to possible events that could take place there. Let your imagination and creative abilities go wild.
If you are not familiar with the town-space of Gorey you can place yourself directly within the town by checking out Google Maps and searching for “main street, Gorey, Ireland.”
