Moore Street Pulse
Aarif Amod

The series is produced from interactions with people and communities in the location of Moore Street Dublin – a historical quarter famously known as being the soul of city trading.

While using expressive approach to document everyday life on the Street, Amod’s focus is on the massive cultural shift currently happening on Moore Street – capturing its vibrancy and cultures. With workers and passer-bys from all over the world, the street expresses a vibrant and transformative space, while in the background is a context of its place in Irish history. With recent renewal plans to restore Moore Street, which will reactivate one of the most important trading points in the city, finding a balance between holding onto the important national history of Moore Street while also maintaining a cultural presence plays a vital role.
