Surface Tension

Project Partner:
Dee Hurley, Tim Murphy, Liberty Street House, Meitheal Mara, Health Service Executive South

Project Description:
Dee Hurley designed a series of workshops to empower young people with the skills and confidence to train in an artform they could relate to, and to get involved in the Surface Tension urban art event where they would be exposed to established graffiti writers from all over Ireland and the world. Prior to the graffiti event, the young people exhibited their work during an Open Day at Liberty Street House. The group sprayed their tag pieces on boards, working together to create a cohesive piece that they displayed at Liberty Street at the Surface Tension event. At the event they were involved both behind the scenes (the first there on Saturday to help prime walls) and practicing the skills they had learned, doing various pieces, large and small, on the car park walls.
