Explore memories and feelings of place to create imaginative counter-geographies in Memory Mapping, a placemaking workshop for families with children of all ages. We will use craft techniques, collage, and creative writing to map out our favourite places in the city and to explore how we inhabit them. Will the places on your map be real, fictional, or imaginary? What textures and colours could describe your personal geographies of Dublin’s architectural heritage?

Facilitator: Emma Hurson

Location: IAF House at Charlemont Square, Dublin

Note: Parents / guardians must attend with their child(ren). Please book a space for each person attending. All materials provided.

Open House Junior offers a dynamic programme of architecture events, workshops, and activities designed to engage young minds. These opportunities offer a space for young people to share their stories and connect with Dublin city, cultivating a sense of responsibility and care for the built environment. Children and young people’s lived experiences and insights are invaluable contributions to our evolving built heritage, reflecting the values and aspirations of future communities.
