The NCAD Gallery is delighted to participate in the Dublin Learning City Festival 2022 with the exhibition, Letters To The Bond, a project collaboration between the after school programme at Robert Emmet CDP and NCAD Studio+ & Dublin 8 Neighbourhood Residency student artist, Steph Saidha.
In advance of major regeneration, Letters To The Bond captures children’s insights into their home-place through photography and personal letters. By documenting details large and small throughout their flat complex, this collection highlights a powerful and intimate relationship between the children and their local area.
