National Photographic ArchiveDublin, IrelandOngoing
Eg. Dubliners ExhibitionDubliners is a unique photographic record of life in the city at the turn of the last century, a period immortalised in the literary works of James Joyce. The exhibition featured the work of Co Monaghan-born photographer John J Clarke who was particularly talented at capturing close-up, candid photographs of people going about their daily business. The images, which were recorded between 1897 and 1904, provided an intimate view of the city and its inhabitants during the period in which Joyce was to set his works. The locations which figure most prominently in the exhibition included O’Connell Street, Grafton Street, Merrion Square and the area near the Royal University on Earlsfort Terrace where Clarke studied medicine for a number of years.

The Roots of EmpathyCanada,ongoing
Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based classroom program that has shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression among schoolchildren by raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. At the heart of the program are a neighbourhood infant and parent who visit the classroom every three weeks over the school year. A trained ROE Instructor coaches students to observe the baby's development and to label the baby's feelings. In this experiential learning, the baby is the "Teacher" and a lever, which the instructor uses to help children identify and reflect on their own feelings and the feelings of others. This "emotional literacy" taught in the program lays the foundation for more safe and caring classrooms, where children are the "Changers". They are more competent in understanding their own feelings and the feelings of others (empathy) and are therefore less likely to physically, psychologically and emotionally hurt
each other through bullying and other cruelties http://www.rootsofempathy.org/roots_new_site/Video.html

Water as SpiritRome, Italy 312 BC - now
Almost anyone who loves Rome will tell you that one of the city’s most compelling features is its abundance of water. While tourists are wowed by gurgling fountains in charming piazzas (and rightly so), the city’s connection to H20 is much deeper. From the murky Tiber River to colossal Baroque displays and from street-side drinking fountains to the ruins of ancient aqueducts, the history of
Rome is written in water.
Water = humane, ecologically sound and engaging civic experience

Uniqueness vs sameness
The quality of busking is unique in Dublin. Its spirit is still alive and serves as a contrast to the lack of life and lack of authenticity in international branded stores that have subsumed our streets.
You could be anywhere, but for the buskers.
