Grangegorman Histories Public Call: Damon Berry, Lecturer and Researcher
Grangegorman Histories issued a public call in July 2023 inviting applicants to contribute to the uncovering, cataloguing and commemorating of the History of the Grangegorman site. The five successful awardees have received funding to develop their work through research and creative endeavors. Here we’re profiling the work of Lecturer and Researcher, Damon Berry.
About the project
Damon Berry will showcase points of special interest from the past and future of the site through a series of smart posts throughout the site. Wooden posts will conveniently display QR codes allowing phone users to directly access and browse multimedia resources related to the space they are in. Visitors to Grangegorman will be able to learn the histories of the site on a self-guided tour, or through special guided tours.
