The Snug

The SNUG is a 6×6 m popup real-world ‘chat room’ exploring the place and places of conversation in contemporary Ireland. Led by international arts collective Unqualified Design Studio (Architecture Project Award 2023/24), the project invites communities to come together to examine the relationship between the stories we tell and the spaces where we tell them – asking what it is that makes us feel connected to each other and the world around us.

Hosted by Unqualified Design Studio.
