In 2014 Resort Residency was initiated and a selection of artists, academics and curators resided in Lynders Mobile Home Park, Portrane for week-long periods from August to September 2014. The participants were invited to use the time to explore the area, its unique geography, community and history. The information gathered during the period evolved into a more developed project or event while opening up some interesting conversations with local residents.
