Centro Cultural Capoeira Água de Beber (CECAB) – Capoeira Água de Beber Cultural Centre – is a non-profit organization, founded officially in January 2002. Its pivot activity is Capoeira (classes, rodas, workshops, public presentations, cultural events, performances), however it aggregates other cultural manifestations as: samba de roda, maculelê, frevo, ciranda, dança do coco, dança afro, puxada de rede, craftworks workshops of making and playing music instruments, video projections, movies, lectures about relevant cultural topics and matters related to enforcement of citizenship. All the activities realized through CECAB are designated to execution of social responsibility projects, further on the sportive, cultural and artistic activities through the realization of the shows, presentations and events related to Capoeira and Brazilian culture.

A collective experiment in AI, care & futures using instinct, wordplay and making to think together. No expertise required. Just curiousity. Exquisite Corpus is MODE's first public experiment — a two-hour workshop where participants use word association, collaborative making, and collective reflection to explore how we think about AI, care, and the futures we're building together. There are no experts here. No lectures. No right answers. You'll work in small groups to create visual responses to randomly drawn word combinations — then layer your work with others, building toward a collective artifact that none of you could have made alone. In the process, something honest tends to emerge about how we actually feel about futures. **Who this is for:** Anyone curious about AI, technology, and collective futures. Artists, technologists, researchers, students, community organizers, people who feel excluded from the conversation about AI and want in. You don't need a background in ethics or technology. You need curiosity and willingness to play. **About MODE:** MODE (Meta Otium for Dynamic Ethics) is a new Dublin-based think tank exploring the ethical futures of AI and emerging technologies through participatory practice. We believe ethics isn't something observed from above — it's something practiced, embodied, and discovered collectively. This is our first public experiment. Come be part of it.

On Friday 26th June we will have an evening walk in the Dublin Mountains - with some of the loveliest views around Dublin. Although it's 5 days after the actual summer solstice, sunset is at 9:57pm so we have plenty of time to enjoy the long summer evening. From the meeting point we will take the 44B bus to Johnnie Fox's pub, known for being one of the highest pubs in Ireland. We will then walk to Ballyedmondiff Wedge Tomb (also known as Giant's Grave), Two Rock, Fairy Castle and Three Rock before finishing up with a quick drink in the Blue Light pub (if we wish). There is then a pleasant 15-20 mins walk to the bus stop where there are buses to Dundrum & Dublin City Centre and Glencairn Luas stop (with Green Line services). If the weather is good, we may stop for a short picnic along the way, so feel free to bring food and drink. Feel free to come on the walk even if you haven't been to a meet up before. This is a great way to meet new people and see new places. \*\*\* If you wish to wander off during a break then it's probably OK but please agree with the organisers a time you'll return so we're not waiting for you \*\*\* [Date] 26th June (FRIDAY) [Time] 17:15 \~ 22:00. The 44B bus is due to leave at 17:30 but please arrive in plenty of time in case it leaves a few minutes early. This is the last bus of the day to the walk's start (Johnnie Fox's) so unfortunately if you miss it then there's no alternative. [Place] Bus Stop 7981 on the Dundrum Bypass (R117) near Main Street and Dundrum Luas. If you're coming on the Luas from the city centre, first cross over the tracks via the crossing. Take the lift down or stairs down to street level. Walk straight ahead and then turn right on Main Street and then left on the Dundrum Bypass. The bus stop is on the left (pictured with the bus). It's near the Dominic Smith Expert electrical shop in Dundrum. For those coming on the Luas, I will be at Dundrum Luas on the northbound platform at 17:10 and wait for 5 mins before walking to Bus Stop 7981. If you miss me then please follow the above instructions to walk to the bus stop.

Also please take care when crossing roads as though this walk is mainly in parks and on minor roads there will be a few busy roads to cross. Please wear suitable footwear as some of the paths may be uneven or steep. It is also recommended to bring water to avoid dehydration. Bring warm clothes and a waterproof jacket or umbrella in case of inclement weather. The Wild Travellers' Adventures Meetup Group supports the Leave No Trace Campaign

## An Introduction to Abstraction // A weekend workshop with Artist Nuala Clarke // Saturday June 28th & Sunday June 29th // 10:00 - 16:00 **BOOK HERE - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/skillsets/2204721** We are delighted to welcome back Artist Nuala Clarke to Flux Studios to teach a weekend painting workshop exploring the world of abstraction. If you have ever had a desire to paint abstractly but don't know how to go about it, this class lays the groundwork with practical exercises in a relaxed, and experimental atmosphere. In this workshop we will take a look at our own preferences, connect to ourselves through the senses and find ways to make non-figurative work infused with personal vision. Abstraction is a means of noting that which has no fixed physical form. Colour, shape, texture and the ineffable can be combined to make an object which expresses that which has no words. Most people have important relationships with colour – we will be taking a deep look at our own preferences. This course is for all levels, no experience of working abstractly or with water based media is necessary. Some materials will be provided, though a small materials list will be sent to each participant. **Course Fee: €270** **Your Tutor:** Nuala Clarke is a visual artist and writer. Born in Dublin, she moved to New York City after attending NCAD. She lived and worked as a painter in NY for 20 years. Her work is exhibited in the US and Europe, is held in many private, public and corporate collections. She is represented by & Claremorris Gallery in Co. Mayo. In 2007, Clarke received a fellowship and residency to The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, in Mayo. This area became the locus of her work and she moved there in 2013. Meanwhile, she began collaborating with Crystal Gandrud. Together they wrote and imaged an artful, irreverent commentary of Atisa’s Lojong Slogans titled Radiating Outwards, Incrementally, A Manual, published in 2024. Clarke has been conducting research into the healing probabilities of abstract art since 2020 prompted by her study of the Irish Natural Philosopher and alchemist Robert Boyle (of Boyles law). She has presented papers at the Robert Boyle Summer School, and was awarded an Irish Arts Council Bursary for experimental research. She was most recently commissioned to honour Robert Boyle with abstract paintings at The John Sterne Library at Trinity Medical School, in Dublin. Her book Irish Moss of a Dead Man’s Skull was published by The Owl Circus in March 2025.

This is the **first meetup** of our AI video generation group, and we are keeping it small and hands-on. We will have **4 laptops** set up and ready to go: * one for demos. * one for guided tutorials. * and one for you to practice on yourself. With only **8 people** in the room, there's plenty of time to ask questions, try things out, and actually get into the tools rather than just watch someone else use them. **What we will cover:** * A walkthrough of AI video generation tools including ComfyUI, Higgsfield, and Kling AI. * Hands-on practice time at the workstations. * Open discussion > what are you working on, what tools are you curious about? No experience needed. If you have never touched any of these tools before, that's completely fine: that's what the tutorial station is for. **A few practicalities:** * Spaces are capped at 8 (2 people per workstation). * €5 attendance fee. * Feel free to bring your own laptop if you have one. See you at the IFI.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences.
