This Action ✊, a "Small-Scale Pavilion Structure" aims to connect communities through an integrated and participatory approach to the cultural heritage and future of Ballina. Established as a town in 1723 with earlier origins associated with the foundation of the Augustinian Abbey in 1427, Ballina, Béal an Átha (mouth of the ford) is a town on the Wild Atlantic Way in County Mayo, Ireland. The topography, buildings, designed landscapes and material culture of Ballina’s historic core confirm integral relationships between the natural and built environment that will be researched and activated by the inspiration of the European Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus. Fund4ACT is being used to financial support a Small-Scale Pavilion Structure which is part of an artist-led / culture-led urban regeneration strategy, reintroducing spaces into the community’s memory and experience of the town through an interventionist approach and demonstrating the potential of the reuse of institutional sites and buildings to transform the lived experience of all members of the community, generating a sense of belonging, attachment, and inclusion.
