Portals Allies #1 Ciarán Wood Unconcisous Carpets 08.08.2020

'Unconscious Carpets' is an iteration of a concept radio show by Wood, who predominantly works within moving-image and installation. Incorporating elements of writing, performance, and archival video mixed-live, Wood also invited a selection of artists and musicians to contribute to a collective "arrival", taking different forms of a speculative journey between Ireland and London. The show is based around the concept of a north London Irisb pub, once the epicenter of the city’s Irish community, as a place to pass through or remain until (as many are now) the pubs are closed and redeveloped.
