Tuam Assembly with Isabel Lima

Video

Tuam Assembly is a series of conversations between Tuam’s residents and stakeholders to explore their needs and expectations, part of Isabel Lima’s Artist Residency. These conversations will focus on the way a town is defined: by the connections and relationships that evolve at any given moment in place. These conversations recognise the importance of residents, their knowledge, lived experiences, aspirations, and skills, to planning place. We explore individual histories, aims, visions and objectives and by the end of each conversation we will have agreed on specific ways we can enact collective decisions.
