We’re delighted to be teaming up with Griffith College to delve a little deeper into their photography graduate class of ’21 and will be carrying further images and information on our website and social media over the coming weeks. We’re also kicking off a summer series with Waterways Ireland informing you about their initiatives and the people who make it flow. We’ve commissioned illustrator Gav Connell to bring us WaterMark who will hopefully inspire us all to set a high one when it comes to how we respect and treat this great resource. We hope it can start a conversation not just about what’s being done with our canals but what can be done. As always, we want to know about what you’re collaborating on so do drop us a line. reser Lu y sopecublin.

This copy might have been My favourite moment from this issue, and my biggest recommendation, is the climax of Tim MacGabhann’s last missive from Mexico where the sense of a connection between foreign folk traditions and Irish ones is brought on by something more powerful than just déjà vu. It’s derived instead from a deeper resonance about what it is that “home” could or should feel like, and it’s a wonderful piece of writing, that is illustrated excellently by Cecilia Rangel’s photography.

And while the pandemic might have lowered our spirits and extracted the interactive human element for a while, it didn’t stop collaborations. On these pages we have new spaces (Hang Tough Contemporary, Mend), new designs (An Leabharlann, Studio Drop), new magazines (Dreaming), new music (Kojaque), new projects (Pluid), new photographs (Griffith College graduates) and even new eyeballs (Mervyn Nixon) to aid our perspective on the city.

The overwhelming influence of his artistry was visible in the multitude of ways he touched those who admired him, as a rock’n’roll star, a pop visionary, an experimental musician, a keen collaborator and an icon of transgression, impossible to pin down to any one defining moment from a lifetime of creativity. And obviously, that’s only the distant stuff you recognise as a fan rather than his own private legacy as a family man and friend to many. But even from that remove, the pull of his artistic gravity is strong and reassuring. RIP. a ble of w dor s, thoug ts and imoves.

I don’t know how that’s going to feel. I hope that it’s mainly a sense of rediscovered freedoms. You want to go to a movie. You want to go to a museum and eat in a restaurant.

It feels apt, then, to have Niall Staines capture this sense of going through the wringer with our cover commission. His glitch style drags normality beyond recognition but still anchors it. Time has blurred and rumpled, we’ve all felt glitched but there’s still hope and the ones we love and those who love us.

Dramatic resolutions be gone, it’s really all about the incremental changes for these are the ones you might stick with and see snowball into actual change. We tap into a cast of 19 creatives who we admire and get them to share their 2018 highlights, their hopes for 2019 and their own heroes. It makes you appreciate that Dublin is really a town and we all lean, rather than trample, on each other to accrue the success we desire. And it’s all about setting aside some personal time where possible to pursue something for yourself. Brendan Duffy tapped us up with his fantastic ‘personal portrait project’ on some of the ukulele players who gather in the Stag’s Head every Tuesday. Ross Killeen realised his fantastic short film 99 Problems outside the daily staple of producing and directing ads for clients. It’s always good to have something filed under ‘for me’ which ultimately garners more satisfaction, well being and sometimes, attention in the right quarters. We look forward to you sharing your ‘for me’ ideas with us. 40 Gastro Baste-based 34 Chairlift Moth to a Flame 22 MELTYBRAINS?
