The Academy

Learning. Reflection. Skill-building.
Slí Nua Academy offers structured learning experiences across careers, creativity, leadership, and civic innovation. Through workshops, mentoring, labs, and public talks, it cultivates critical thinking, regenerative leadership, and collective intelligence.

The Archive

Memory. Knowledge. Continuity.
Slí Nua Archive is a living collection of ideas, stories, and practices connecting art, culture, architecture, and community life through books, independent publications, and audiovisual archives that preserve and share collective knowledge.

The Studio

Creation. Experimentation. Production.
Slí Nua Studio is the making space where ideas are prototyped, tested, and brought into form. It supports creative production, collaborative projects, residencies, and experimentation through shared studios, fabrication tools, and project incubation.

The Commons

Community. Dialogue. Exchange.
The Commons is the shared civic ground, a flexible and hybrid space where the common is built collectively. Through exhibitions, forums, cultural events, screenings, and public conversations. It nurtures encounter, dialogue, and shared cultural life guided by a common ethos and values.

The Hub

Work. Infrastructure. Sustainability.
The Hub provides the economic and operational backbone of Slí Nua Studio, bringing together coworking spaces, hot desks, meeting rooms, creative micro-enterprises, and strategic consulting activities. By generating sustainable revenue and professional activity, it supports cross-subsidy for cultural and civic work while anchoring the initiative locally in Ballinrobe, sustaining the ecosystem as a whole.

Slí Nua Studio is built together.

At Slí Nua Studio, we believe that meaningful change happens through co-production and co-design, by working with people rather than designing for them. Our practice is rooted in human-centred and regenerative principles, guided by ethics, empathy, affordability, and inclusion. We understand vulnerability not as a personal condition, but as isolation: the inability to access opportunities, spaces, or collective life within one’s own geography. The Studio therefore operates as a living system rather than a set of silos, where learning, creativity, civic engagement, and economic activity support one another. We trust in human potential and in the capacity of people to collaborate, mediate, and care collectively for shared resources. At Slí Nua, art and creativity are not reserved for a few, they are rights, tools, and common ground through which communities can imagine, build, and sustain more just and regenerative futures.

Slí Nua’s DNA lies in a catalytic integration of regenerative tools, social engineering, urban living lab methodologies, and co-production practices, enabling the translation of theory into situated action and lived spatial transformation.
