Made Ground is a collaboration between artists Frank Sweeney, Eva Richardson McCrea and the Dublin Dockworkers Preservation Society (DDWPS). Taking the DDWPS online archive of over 3,500 photographs as its starting point the work draws on a range of source material including interviews, institutional and personal archives, documents and original footage. The two channel video work considers the movement from manual to knowledge based forms of labour in the Docklands, the changing architecture of the area, and the impact of these changes on the surrounding communities.

The Dublin Dockworkers Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving the history of the Dublin Docks. To date they have collected over 6,000 photographs, alongside other donated documents which are currently being archived by Dublin City Council and will be available soon to the general public.

Made Ground is supported by The Arts Council’s Artist in the Community Scheme, managed by Create – the national development agency for collaborative arts.
