Are School Playgrounds Microcosms of Society at Large? Mon Sep 29, 2025 09:00 | Joanna Gray
Lunchtime football is the latest victim of nanny-state safetyism, turning school playgrounds into microcosms of society ? corralled, cramped, and socially conditioned, says Joanna Gray.

Lord Brooke and the Malthusian Mind Virus in Our Time Mon Sep 29, 2025 07:00 | Tilak Doshi
Lord Brooke's wild House of Lords speech about abortion, gays and climate change wasn't just odd ? Tilak Doshi shows it's the same old Malthusian doom-mongering that elites have been peddling for centuries.

Talking Shop 2nd Session, Seomra Spraoi 6:30 – 8:00 Monday 30th of May
The Talking Shop is a new discussion forum organised by the Campaign for Old City Arts Building, Dublin Housing Action and the Provisional University, but open to everyone. Our second session looks at The Creative City. In the last decade, urban life has been characterised by words such as creativity, culture, participation and dialogue. These are not solely words, rather they refer to a specific direction in which the cultural – fine arts, performing arts, popular cultural, counterculture and more – becomes predominant and exploited by the neo-liberal project. In this context, it is cultural economies that make places attractive and powerful in capitalist societies.
In this session we’ll reflect on the emergence of a cultural Dublin in the last decade, asking who benefits from this, and if its still possible to be culturally political when culture is so easily co-opted by capital?

About the Talking Shop
Through our various projects we’ve come across the need to create time and space for the kind of political discussion that we usually don’t have time for within our campaigns.
We’ll take a different idea in each session and have an open and relaxed discussion, without trying to reach agreement or action. Each session will have a brief introduction.
We believe that, given the exhaustion of older forms of radical politics, today political action needs be accompanied by ongoing discussion and reflection, in order to develop new ideas and strategies that can make a difference here and now. The Talking Shop is also a space of ‘autonomous education’, it offers and alternative to depoliticised ways in which learning generally takes place in college.
