D-Light Residency Award 2021
Luke McManus
We are delighted to announce that the recipient of the 2021 D-LS Residency award is filmmaker Luke McManus. Over the next 6 months, Luke will be working on an experimental creative feature documentary called North Circular, exploring Dublin's North Circular Road, its inhabitants, its culture, its history and its contemporary streetscape. We can't wait to see how this portrait of our neighbourhood evolves and are very proud to support its development.
When we partnered with the NEIC on this programme, our aim was to support and welcome a variety of artists to the space and our community. Through the residency we continue to connect meaningfully and build strong relationships with our local neighbourhood by offering more and more access to a broad range of arts and artists.
The application standard was exceptionally high, and the community consideration is inspiring. We would like to thank everyone who applied and although we only have one official award we will be finding ways to support a short list of applicants that we loved over the coming months.
Huge thanks to the NEIC for the continued support in this invaluable partnership.
