This exhibition opens windows into how others live, documenting diverse living situations across Dublin and beyond. From young professionals to direct provision, the exhibition seeks to allow you to understand the ways that others experience housing. Housing is supposed to make our lives more comfortable, and particularly in the context of a crisis of scarcity this often isn’t the case.

Located on Charlemont Walk, we invite you to tour the work which will be on display from October 1st.

Investigating Dublin’s culture of habitation, Squashed Living is a project led by Peter O’Grady and Laura Ferry. The project is supported by the Irish Architecture Foundation through the Open House Dublin Open To All call for ideas.

This exhibition take place at the Open House Info Hub at Charlemont Walk, Dublin 2. This is a temporary use space and does not have direct access to toilet and washroom facilities inside the space. Participants and visitors have full use of toilets, including an accessible toilet, located in a separate adjoining building approximately 100 metres away in distance. The space and doorways open wide and the venue does not have any steps or stairs.
