Emma Brennan and Thomas Wells—The House of Atreus

The House of Atreus situates itself within wider discourses of how bodies inhabit and contest space. Drawing from MYCKET’s queer feminist performative architectures and queer Marxist critiques of factory labour, the project engages with how gender, sexuality, and identity are regulated and exploited under capitalism.

By weaving together histories of Irish and UK industrial cities, migration, exploitation, and resilience, the project reflects on the new economies shaping post-crash Ireland. Cultural references such as CMAT’s Euro-Country capture the anti-romantic post-Celtic Tiger era that Brennan and Wells themselves entered ‘The Workforce’.
