‘Samhlú Salthill’ is a new installation by UrbanLab Galway at this year's Architecture at the Edge festival. From September 25th to October 3rd, Salthill Park transforms into a canvas for reimagining urban spaces, with a focus on the well-known Leisureland complex.

Step into a world of possibility as anamorphic art shifts your perspective, offering a unique view of Leisureland — Galway's iconic swimming pool and concert venue. This artistic approach presents an intriguing glimpse of its potential future.

"Samhlú Salthill" is more than an exhibition; it's an invitation to everyone to participate in shaping Galway's urban landscape. UrbanLab Galway uses this immersive installation to spark a city-wide conversation about the future of Leisureland and Salthill Park. What do you envision for these important community spaces?

Use your smartphone to engage with the installation, unlocking additional layers of imagination and interactivity. Join us in this exciting blend of art, technology, architecture, and community engagement. Let's reimagine Galway's future together, one perspective-shifting view at a time. 

Samhlú Salthill is an UrbanLab Galway production supported by the University of Galway, Galway City Council and Science Foundation Ireland.
