As part of the exhibition, Mandy collaborated with 5th class boys at the local Francis St. CBS.
She has produced a series of portraits, text works and recordings with them, elements of which will feature in the installation.
Fiach Mac Conghail, Chief Executive Officer of The Digital Hub said: "The purpose of the artist-in-residence programme is to support artists in their digital practice while assisting us in understanding and appreciating the physical and social environment of our community.
"We invited Mandy to explore how The Digital Hub was located within our Liberties communities."
Talking about her upcoming exhibition, Mandy said: “With a very open brief, the residency allowed me to explore the multifaceted environment of The Liberties and engage with local communities, while also developing new approaches to my practice and identifying possible new methodologies. "
The exhibition runs from 29 March to 6 April (excl. Sunday and Monday) at 12pm-5pm daily.
