About the event
Where do we all belong? began in May with a research phase seeking to better understand local attitudes, experiences and insights relating to loneliness in the area. Feedback was gathered through conversations with residents, meetings with local community groups and organisations, and an anonymous questionnaire distributed locally and available online. The project was first realised in Sligo in autumn 2025, culminating in an exhibition at Abhainn Studio Gallery. This Liberties Festival commission presents artwork developed in response to the research and engagement process, and is supported through the Dublin City Arts Office Neighbourhood Grant Scheme and the Digital Hub. Artist: Ronan Dillon. Photography: Peter Martin. Producer: Noel Feeney.
