New Now Next: Cities Have Feelings is an unmissable evening of discussion, ideas and action about cities, including London, Malmö and Dublin. Through conversation and film, Finn Williams, City Architect of Malmö, and artist, poet and broadcaster Rhael “LionHeart” Cape from London will unearth how emotional, physical and social connections between people and their cities are formed and sustained.

Now in its 11th season, New Now Next is an exciting season of live, in-person talks, disseminating new ideas and thinking relevant now and for the future of architecture and society. Material, financial and human resources, public participation, the future of cities and issues of social inclusion and cultural identity are on the agenda of an unprecedented array of speakers for the 2023 season of New Now Next. This is the second event in the series, curated and presented by the Irish Architecture Foundation and supported by Arup.

Cities Have Feelings takes place as part of Open House Dublin, the IAF’s flagship architecture festival.

Irish Architecture Foundation

About With a focus on public audiences and established in 2005, the Irish Architecture Foundation (IAF) is Ireland’s independent organisation that fosters and advances the culture and communication of architecture. Based in Dublin, but with a national remit and an international network, our purpose is to empower people to build a better world. A not-for-profit charity, the IAF is principally funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. It is additionally funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, under the auspices of the National Built Heritage Services; the Office of Public Works; and Dublin City Council. Across an increasingly broad range of events, programmes, and exhibitions, the IAF partners with individuals, organisations, government agencies, education institutions and civil society groups to ensure that our work builds civic pride and action and that outcomes are impactful and transformative.
