The Irish Pavilion, entitled Free Market highlighted the generosity, humanity and possibility in the public spaces of Ireland\u2019s market towns. Small town market places, once the economic and social hubs of rural Ireland have undergone fundamental change and many have seen their function as places of exchange and congregation diminished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Market proposed to reclaim these places of interaction and community, building on the research of our team and others, and on the lived experience of these spaces, to re-imagine the shared urban territory of the small town market place. Free Market News, an accompanying publication brings together original writing about towns from over 40 contributors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
