“It happened every time he went on the pop. At first it made him curious. Soon he became only afraid.”
Writer Peter MacNamara has written a short story inspired by the Dublin phrase ‘on the pop’.
It’s a tale of one young man’s trials and tribulations as he cums to terms with his erection being inexplicably linked to a white pigeon.
Studio Yum Yum artists – Niamh Hannaford, Gavin Leane, Gearóid O’Dea and Darren O’Driscoll – have created a series of vibrant visual and transgressive art works. Mediums range from painting, sculpture, and photography to literary fiction and performance art in reaction to the story.
