Crowdfunding campaign for new Dublin club launched by Temporary Pleasure
The rave architecture collective wants to "change cultural perceptions of nightlife and enact positive change in Irish nightlife"
Rave architecture collective Temporary Pleasure is fundraising to open a new pop-up venue in Dublin.
The project was initially announced back in December, but now that a space has been found and designs drawn up, they're seeking help to prepare, build and put on six weeks of programming. Of their €25,000 goal, nearly €4,000 has been raised so far.
Hoping to help boost Ireland's nightlife, the collective plans to host more than 100 Irish artists and performers over 40 "late-night and fringe" events. They'll also be offering education to local participants on how to build DIY club spaces while constructing the pop-up venue interior. Some of the funds raised will go towards scholarships for workshop participants.
Temporary Pleasure's goals for their Dublin pop-up include: "change cultural perceptions of nightlife and enact positive change in Irish nightlife"; "engage the public, local organisations and authorities to activate underutilize buildings"; "broaden the range and diversity of event offerings"; and "expand accessibility and inclusivity."
Back in November 2021, Temporary Pleasure hosted a 5-day event in Barcelona — the space was also constructed in five days in a disused warehouse — that focused on DIY clubs and communities.
