Dave Smith
Dave Smith has had a long-standing affinity with creative culture. It began with the inception of his advertising company, micromedia.ie, designed to promote indy culture & arts. This led to founding & curating Kings of Concrete festival for 7 years which in turn led directly to the creation of Mabos, a multi-purpose arts warehouse space in Grand canal dock. The closure of Mabos, despite garnering huge support, presented a unique situation of forced change. Dave will tell his ideas on how to navigate change. Where does the energy flow when the channel goes? How can we move forward with purpose?
