Arts specialists 'frame' troubled north Belfast
Art specialists at the University of Ulster and their Australian counterparts have linked up to place deep-seated issues of territory and trauma in the frame at an international showcase in troubled north Belfast.
The Golden Thread Gallery, located in an old linen mill on Crumlin Road, is the venue for their initiative, which brings together photo and video work by seven leading artists from Ireland, South Africa and Australia and opens the doors to the community to air their experiences.
Professor Liam Kelly, a prime mover in the initiative, said: “This is a major exhibition and discussion programme which deals in a graphic way with engrained issues that echo across nations, cultures and communities which experience upheaval and divisions.”
The exhibition, entitled Prepossession, is a collaborative venture between the School of Art and Design at the University of Ulster, Belfast and the Centre for Contemporary Art and Politics (CCAP) at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
It was first jointly staged in Sydney last March and will run the Golden Thread until 15 October.
