Stockholm visit
As part of Fatale's Feminist Futures lecture and workshop series I was invited to present the work of TF and PS2 in a presentation called: 'Fabrication and Ms.Conduct.' (12th October 2011) In the follow-on workshop the students came up with some products driven by feminist agendas- very interesting
FATALE is a group of architects, based at the School of Architecture, KTH, pursuing research and education within, and through, feminist architecture theory and practice.
We are hoping that some collaborative work can emerge from these connections - so sincere thanks to those (Meike and Annika) who gave me this opportunity.

The following day on the 13th Oct, I was invited to give a kitchen talk as part of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Visual Artists
-again on work of PS2 and TF - this time to a wide range of artists, architects, designers and curators. IASPIS is a fascinating organization and I felt very welcomed.

Ballykinler Village Fair
PS2 is organising the Ballykinler Village Fair for the 28th May 2011. This is part of an ongoing relationship with Anne Marie Dillon (artist) and the Ballykinler community that was documented as part of the Rhyzome network. More recently QUB architecture students worked on a project for the community as part of the Street Society Project. - the resultant work on Beach Huts has opened up discussions at community level and with external organizations about the relationship of the community to the beach and the neighboring army barracks

Live Projects Colloquium, 25 March 2011, Queen's University Belfast
Live Projects Colloquium was a success - not only because of Jame's great skills in organising the event but also in the quality of people who attended and the level of discussion and insight they brought to the subject. From this we will be doing a themed issue of the Journal of education in the Built Environment and hope to build towards a larger output that collates some of the thoughts of the group on Friday.
A most collaborative and pleasant day!
