Féile an Phobail plays a leadership role in the
transfer of ideas across cultures and time. We are at
the heart of modern belfast, where our
communities are increasingly multi lingual and
multi cultural. Collaboration is at the core of our
work - showcasing good relations in action,
attracting more tourism and visitor spend and
building increased social and cultural capital.
Tá ról ceannasaíochta ag Féile an Phobail smaointe a
mhalartú ar fud cultúr agus ama. Tá muid ag croílár
bhéal Feirste nua-aimseartha, mar a bhfuil ár bpobail
níos ilteangaí agus ilchultúrtha. Tá comhoibriú ag croílár
ár gcuid oibre – léiríonn sé dea-chaidreamh i bhfeidhm
agus meallann sé níos mó turasóireachta agus
cuairteoirí agus forbraíonn sé níos mó caipitil shóisialta
agus chultúrtha.
our programme is about exchange, its about
opening one's own culture to another, expanding it,
but also in a way enfolding it within your own and
making it yours too.
baineann ár gclár le malartú, baineann sé lenár gcultúir
féin a oscailt dá chéile, iad a fhorbairt móide iad a
ghlacadh taobh le do chultúr féin.
our main 5,000 capacity marquee, based in the
award-winning Falls Park is the heart of our
innovative Festival. like the wider Gaeltacht Quarter
it is accessible, and welcoming to all the citizens of
our city and our many visitors.
Tá ár n-ollphuball do 5,000 duine mar thoilleadh, suite i
bPáirc na bhFál a bhfuil duaiseanna bainte aici, ag croílár
ár bhFéile nuálaí. Cosúil leis an Cheathrú Ghaeltachta
bíonn sé inrochtana agus fáiltiúil roimh shaoránaigh ár
gcathrach agus roimh an chuid mhór cuairteoirí a bhíonn
againn.
2016 brings an exciting line-up! everything from
street theatre, children’s events, parties in the Park,
concerts, sports, discussions, debates, exhibitions,
dramas and readings in what is the largest
community festival and summer school in ireland!
beidh clár corraitheach againn in 2016. beidh gach sórt
rudaí ann ó amharclannaíocht sráide, imeachtaí do
pháistí, fleánna sa Pháirc, ceolchoirmeacha, spóirt, plé,
díospóireachtaí, taispeántais, drámaí agus léamha san
fhéile pobail agus sa scoil samhraidh is mó in éirinn!
i would like to thank our local community; the
Department for Communities, belfast City Council
for its ongoing support for Féile, Tourism ni, the arts
Council, Foras na Gaeilge, all our sponsors and
funders, especially Diageo northern ireland, our
friends in Cork lifelong learning Festival (with
which we are twinned), Visit belfast, our venue
partners and, of course, the wonderful
management of St Mary’s University College for
allowing us to take over their campus every august!
ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil lenár pobal áitiúil;
an Roinn Pobal, Comhairle Cathrach bhéal Feirste dá
tacaíocht leanúnach do Féile, Tourism ni, an Chomhairle
ealaíon, Foras na Gaeilge, lenár n-urraí agus
maoinitheoirí go léir, go háirithe Diageo northern
ireland, ár gcairde i bhFéile Foghlaim Fadsaoil Chorcaí
(lena bhfuil muid ceangailte), Visit belfast, lenár
bpáirtnéirí ionaid agus le foireann bainistíochta iontach
Cholaiste ollscoile naomh Muire leoga, as cead a
thabhairt dúinn a gcampas a úsáid gach lúnasa!
So, enjoy yourselves and the work we put into
showcasing the West to the World!
Mar sin de, bainigí sult aisti agus as an obair a rinne muid
chun an tiarthar a léiriú don Domhan!

FeSTiVAL.
The annual Féile an Phobail has, for longer most
care to remember, been instrumental in
promoting the positive cultural and creative
reputation of west belfast. it has played a key
role in bringing communities closer together
through a shared celebration of the arts,
providing people of all ages, backgrounds and
interests with the kinds of inclusive and inspiring
experiences that the arts excel at.
bhí Féile an Phobail bhliantúil ríthábhachtach i gcur
chun cinn chlú dearfach cultúrtha agus cruthaitheach
iarthar bhéal Feirste le blianta anuas. bhí ról
tábhachtach aici pobail a thabhairt níos dlúithe dá
chéile trí chomhcheiliúradh a dhéanamh ar na
healaíona agus tríd na cineálacha eispéireas
cuimsitheach agus spreagúil dá bhfuil na healaíona
iontach a chur ar fáil do dhaoine de gach aois, cúlra
agus suim.
The arts Council, as long term principal funder, is
proud to be associated with all that the Féile has
achieved. belfast is a richer place for having such
an engaging and welcoming multi-arts festival.
as the Féile has grown from a small community
event into one of europe’s major festivals, it has
reflected the growing confidence of a
community that is aware of its own voice and of
how to express itself positively and creatively. it
provides a potent source of local pride and an
opportunity to extend a hand of welcome right
across the city and further.
Tá bród ar an Chomhairle ealaíon, mar phríomhmhaoinitheoir fadtéarmach, bheith bainteach le
gach dár bhain an Fhéile amach. Mar gheall ar an
fhéile tharraingteach, fháiltiúil, ilealaíon seo tá béal
Feirste níos luachmhaire mar áit. agus Féile ag fás ó
imeacht pobail beag go ceann de na príomhfhéilte is
mó san eoraip, léirigh sí muinín níos mó an phobail a
bhfuil eolas aige ar a ghuth féin agus aige féin a léiriú
ar bhealach dhearfach agus chruthaitheach. is foinse
mhór bróid áitiúil í agus tugann sí deis fáilte mhór
chroíúil a chur roimh gach duine ó fud fad na cathrach
agus ó níos faide anonn.
This year’s festival is as full of colour and
character as ever and lives up to Féile’s
reputation for offering a programme with broad
appeal, sprinkled as liberally as ever with
surprising and unexpected pleasures. The
breadth of the programme is an important factor
in attracting new audiences to the arts and
encouraging people to stray from the familiar.
You can always be confident to try new
experiences here, secure in the knowledge that,
with Feile, you are in good hands.
beidh féile na bliana seo lán de dhathanna agus de
charachtair, mar a bhíonn sí i gcónaí agus tá deacháil na Féile tuillte aici as clár a mbeidh tóir leathan
air agus ina mbeidh pléisiúir iontacha agus nach
mbeidh aon choinne againn leis, a chur ar fáil. is
fachtóir tábhachtach é fairsinge an chláir le luchtaí
éisteachta agus féachana nua a mhealladh chuig na
healaíona agus le daoine a spreagadh. Tig libh bheith
muiníneach i gcónaí triail a bhaint as eispéiris nua
anseo agus an t-eolas agaibh go riarfaidh Féile go
maith oraibh.

on behalf of Diageo northern ireland, i
am delighted that harp lager is returning
as the official pouring partner of Féile an
Phobail, ireland’s largest community arts
festival. last year was amazing in so many
ways and we are looking forward to
emulating this success again in 2016.
The august Féile has provided a wonderful boost for the
community as a whole and the local hospitality industry for
almost three decades now. This year’s line-up is truly
exceptional and will take the festival to the next level and
harp is delighted to be playing its part in the overall
experience both at the festival and in the pub.
We are committed to supporting publicans across belfast in
helping them to make the most of the hospitality
opportunities that come hand in hand with a festival of this
scale and in bringing the spirit of Féile an Phobail to the local
area.
ar son Diageo northern ireland, tá áthas orm go mbeidh
harp lager ar ais arís mar phríomhpháirtnéir oifigiúil dí
Féile an Phobail, an fhéile ealaíon pobail is mó in éirinn.
bhí an fhéile iontach ar bhealaí éagsúla anuraidh agus tá
muid ag súil go mór leis an rath a bhí againn anuraidh a
bhaint amach arís in 2016.
is mór an borradh a chuir Féile faoin phobal i gcoitinne
agus faoi thionscal an fháilteachais áitiúil le beagnach trí
dheichniúr anuas. Tá clár na bliana seo fíoriontach agus
forbróidh sé an fhéile chun cinn. Tá áthas ar harp a
rannpháirt a ghlacadh in eispéireas fhoriomlán na féile
agus sna tithe tábhairne.
Tá muid tiomanta do thacaíocht a thabhairt do
thábhairneoirí ar fud béal Feirste agus iad ag iarraidh a
mhéad deiseanna fáilteachais agus is féidir a thapú ina
leithéid seo d’fhéile mhór, le meon Féile an Phobail a chur
chun cinn sa cheantar áitiúil.
harp is all about ‘looking on the harp side’ of life – having fun
and embracing the positive. The connection to a festival that
offers everything from great music, comedy, drama,
discussion and debate to street performances and carnival
parades could not be more fitting. We are extremely excited
about this year’s Féile feast!
baineann harp le ‘looking on the harp side’ den saol –
spraoi a bheith agat agus glacadh le cúrsaí an tsaoil go
dearfach. níl nasc níos fóirsteanaí ná an nasc leis an fhéile
seo ina mbíonn gach sórt rudaí ann ó cheol iontach,
coiméide, dráma, plé agus díospóireacht go taibhithe
sráide agus paráideanna carnabhail. Tá muid an-tógtha
faoi fhleá Féile na bliana seo!

OLLPHUBALL NA FÉILE, Páirc na bhFál, Dé hAoine 5 Lúnasa, 8i.n. go dtí go mall
it may have taken two decades but
finally, Jake o’Kane, one of
ireland’s best-known comics,
appears at Féile an Phobail.
hot on the heels of several sell-out
tours, hugely popular appearances
on The blame Game, the hit ‘Tear
Gas’ DVD and hundreds of
thousands of social media hits for
his dissection of the ‘flegs’ dispute,
Jake has put together a special
collection of material for this year’s
festival. Combining photographs
and stories taken from the irish
news archives, Jake will be taking
his usual no-nonsense approach to
relationships and religion, modern
life to being ginger (and everything
else in between), illustrating the
insanity and humanity that makes
our society and people so unique.
Jake’s comedy can be summed up
by one phrase: ‘comfort the
afflicted and afflict the
comfortable’. expect the
unexpected, as no politician or
political party is off-limits in this
special one-off performance. With
his unique brand of observational
humour and astute take on social
commentary, this show reinforces
Jake’s position as a comic at the
top of his game. Ticéid £15.
10
Ghlac sé dhá dheichniúr, ach faoi
dheireadh thiar thall, beidh Jake
o’Kane, duine de na fuirseoirí is
fearr in éirinn, ag Féile an Phobail.
Go díreach i ndiaidh a
chamchuairteanna go léir, a bhí
díolta amach, i ndiaidh dó bheith ar
an chlár ‘The blame Game’ móide ar
an DVD iontach ‘Tear Gas’ go
rathúil, agus na mílte amas sna
meáin shóisialta dá mhionscrúdú ar
aighneas na ‘flegs’, beidh ábhar
speisialta aige d’fhéile na bliana
seo. agus é ag cur grianghrafanna
agus scéalta ó chartlanna The irish
news, beidh gnáthchur chuige gan
seafóid ag Jake maidir le caidrimh
agus reiligiún, an saol nuaaimseartha mar dhuine rua (agus
gach rud eatarthu), a léireoidh
amaidí agus daonnacht uathúil na
sochaí s’againne. is féidir leat
coiméide Jake a mheas i bhfrása
amháin ‘tabhair sólas do lucht an
dobróin agus cuir isteach ar na
daoine compordacha’. bígí faoi réir
don rud nach mbeidh súil agaibh
leis, mar ní bheidh polaiteoir nó
páirtí polaitiúil ar bith nach
ndéanfar fonóid fúthu don taibhiú
speisialta ar leith seo. lena ghreann
breathnaitheach uathúil, agus a
léamh cliste féin ar thráchtaireacht
shóisialta, neartóidh an seó seo clú
Jake mar fhuirseoir atá ag barr a
mhaitheasa. Ticéid £15.

The Kooks are luke Pritchard, hugh, alexis, Peter. They've been
producing their thrilling blend of post-punk beat guitar pop for
over a decade and along the way have produced a batch of instant
classics like naive, She Moves her own Way, always Where i need
to be, Junk of the heart and around Town. Their last album
"listen" found them experimenting with funk and hip hop
rhythms, but whatever style they play in it's catchy as hell and
unmistakably The Kooks. Féile are delighted to have them
headlining at Falls Park for an evening of pop thrills and great riffs.
The kooks are to be supported by The Coronas and The Crossfire
hurricanes.
Tá luke Pritchard, hugh, alexis, Peter sa bhanna ceoil The Kooks.
bhí siad ag taibhiú a meascán de phopcheol iarphunc le breis agus
deich mbliana anuas. ar fud a saoil chuir siad amach cnuasach
amhrán clasaiceach amhail naive, She Moves her own Way,
always Where i need to be, Junk of the heart agus around Town.
San albam is déanaí a bhí acu “listen” bhain siad triail as rithimí
cheol func agus hip hop, ach cibé stíl a sheinneann siad, fanann a
bhfoinn leat agus aithnítear mar stíl cheoil de chuid The Kooks í.
Tá áthas ar Féile go mbeidh siad mar phríomhcheoltóirí san oíche
seo i bPáirc na bhFál ina mbeidh corraíolacha popcheoil agus
rifeanna iontacha. beidh The Kooks tacaithe ag The Coronas agus

holly Johnson spearheaded Frankie Goes to
hollywood, one of the biggest-selling pop acts of the
eighties and only the second liverpool band to score
three consecutive number 1 singles, including the
earth-shattering classic Relax. holly went on to have a
successful solo career with such massive hits such as
americanos and love Train. he returned in 2014, after
years away from the music industry, with the stunning
album europa.
bhí holly Johnson ina phríomhamhránaí sa bhanna ceoil,
Frankie Goes to hollywood, ceann de na popcheoltóirí ba mhó
dhíola i rith na n-ochtóidí. níorbh é ach an dara banna ceoil ó
learpholl le trí shingil ag uimhir 1 a bhaint amach as a chéile, an
chnagamhrán clasaiceach ‘Relax’ san áireamh. bhí slí bheatha
aonair rathúil aige le hollchnagamhráin amhail ‘americanos’
agus ‘love Train’. Tháinig sé ar ais sa saolréim cheoil arís in 2014,
i ndiaidh dó na blianta a chaitheamh ar shiúl ón tionscal ceoil,
lena albam iontach ‘europa’.
roland Gift is the unmistakable voice of the Fine
Young Cannibals, whose hits include She Drives Me
Crazy and Johnny Come home. now a successful solo
performer, Féile is delighted to welcome Roland to the
Féile stage.
ba phríomhamhránaí soaitheanta na ‘Fine Young Cannibals’ é
roland Gift. i measc a gcnagamhrán bhí ‘She Drives Me Crazy’
agus ‘Johnny Come home’. is taibheoir aonair rathúil anois é,
agus tá áthas ar Féile fáilte a chur roimh Roland go hardán Féile.
Two 80s music legends at Falls Park for a magical
evening that's fuelled by the power of love!
beidh beirt laochra ceoil na n-ochtóidí seo ag taibhiú i bPáirc na
bhFál ar oíche iontach a bheidh spreagtha ag cumhacht an ghrá.

Dutch brothers Showtek reached new heights on the global music scene with single
releases ‘cannonball’ and ‘booyah’ and hitting close to 100 millions views on

session. Action for Community Transformation, the aCT initiative, is a transformation initiative which
supports former combatants. aCT builds the capacity of its members and supports them to engage in
the social, economic and political structures of northern ireland. aCT also encourages its members to
embrace new, positive leadership roles within their local communities. etcetera is a not-for-profit
theatre company, drawing on approaches and lessons learned from community arts and community
development to engage new audiences and participants. The company’s vision is to encourage,
support and sustain an artistic voice from those historically and presently unheard from within the
northern ireland protestant working-class communities.

ArNA Chur i LÁThAir AG The oNe hour TheATre
in ireland there had been frequent armed uprisings
against oppression. For years before 1916 there was also an
intellectual battle going on between those who believed
that some people, an elite, were fit to rule, the rest,
ordinary folk, were not. among those who favoured rule by
the few were politicians, landowners, business people,
high clergy, including Pope leo Xiii, poets like Wb Yeats.
among those who favoured self-rule by the people,
ordinary folk, were a multitude of people from Moscow to
Dublin. Father Kane SJ supported the minority, Connolly
the majority. This presentation is an attempt to set the
irish and international scene in which one of the most
important questions is not why did revolution happen , but
why it did not happen sooner and with more support.

ba mhinic a bhí éirithe amach armtha in éirinn in ireland in
éadan ansmachta. le blianta roimh 1916, bhí cath intleachtúil ag
dul ar aghaidh eatarthu siúd a chreid go raibh roinnt daoine, an
scothaicme fóirsteanach le rialú agus nach raibh na daoine eile,
an gnáthphobal fóirsteanach. i measc na ndaoine sin a bhí i
bhfabhar rialú ó roinnt daoine bhí polaiteoirí, úinéirí talún, an
lucht gnó, na hardchléir, an Pápa leo Xiii, san áireamh, agus filí
cosúil le Wb Yeats. i measc na ndaoine a bhí ar son feinrialaithe
ón ghnáthphobal bhí cuid mhór daoine ó Mhoscó go baile Átha
Cliath. Thacaigh an tathair Kane SJ leis an mhionlach, Ó

Book launch and discussion
Pat walsh’s previous
book ‘Catastrophe’ gives an account of
what happened in the north between
1914 and 1968. The present book
28
V.
1910
‘resurgence’ explains why the
primary responsibility for the
conflict in the north lies with the
architects and operators of the
system that gave the minority
community a stark choice only
between permanent secondclass status or war. and it
describes how that War was
ended to the advantage of the
community, though short of its
final objective, in such an
effective way that momentum
was carried from war to politics.

Seoleadh leabhair agus caint
i leabhar Pat Walsh ‘Catastrophe’ tugann sé cuntas ar
na rudaí a tharla sa Tuaisceart idir 1914 agus 1968. Sa
leabhar is déanaí atá scríofa aige dar teideal
‘Resurgence’, míníonn sé na fáthanna a bhfuil an
phríomhfhreagracht as an choimhlint sa Tuaisceart ag
údair agus oibreoirí an chórais a thug rogha lom amháin
don phobal mionlaigh, idir stádas mar shaoránach dara
aicme nó dul i mbun cogaíochta. Déanann sé cur síos ar
an bhealach a cuireadh deireadh leis an Chogadh ar
mhaithe le leas an phobail, cé gur theip air ó thaobh a
chuspóra dheireanaigh de, ach ar bhealach éifeachtach
a chuir an pholaitíocht chun cinn in áit na cogaíochta.

Paul Laverty
Kevin higgins
Gerry Murphy
Scottish writer Paul Laverty has been the
long-time screenwriting partner of Ken
loach. Together they have produced
outstanding feature films such as My
name is Joe; the 2006 Palme d’or
winning The Wind That Shakes The
barley; Jimmy hall (biopic about irish
communist Jimmy Gralton and his fight
with the ‘theological gulag’ of 1930s
ireland) and, more recently, i, Daniel
blake, the 2016 Palme d’or winner, about
a carpenter in the north of england
struggling against austerity and the red
tape of the benefits system. Paul’s writing
delicately balances the political and
emotional, influenced by his unwavering
social conscience. in interview with
Danny Morrison.
Galway-based Kevin higgins is a poet,
essayist and reviewer, and satirist-inresidence at the alternative literature site
The bogman’s Cannon. he’s been
described by The Stinging
Fly magazine as, “likely the mostly widely
read living poet in ireland.” in his work he
slates/admires ‘the “great” and the good’
from hilary Clinton to the late David bowie.
his poems include such titles as: What i
Told The Psychiatrist and letter to an
imaginary enemy.
Kevin is a merciless opponent of hypocrisy
and pretentiousness wherever he finds it
and his writing – which informs, infuriates
and entertains is overtly political in a way
that draws comparison with George orwel
Gerry Murphy is immersed in his
native Cork but he has a toe in every
country as he goes about
“relentlessly dismantling the entire
universe”! his widely-acclaimed
poetry is quirky, rebellious, hilarious,
and indeed brilliant. his titles include
such poems as Torso of an exGirlfriend; My Flirtation With
international Socialism; and Do not
Resuscitate. “Murphy is a thrilling
and provocative master of poetic
monologue and social commentary”
– Thomas McCarthy, irish examiner.
“What makes Murphy unique among
his contemporaries is his curious
integrity” – John Montague
(first ireland Chair of Poetry).

Glenn Patterson burst onto the literary scene in 1988 when his
acclaimed first novel, burning Your own (a coming-of-age story set in
belfast in 1969) won a betty Trask award and the Rooney Prize for irish
literature. a playwright and documentary filmmaker, his most recent
novel, Gull, is based on the Delorean story. here’s Me here, the
second collection of his newspaper and radio journalism was
published last year. he is the co-writer (with Colin Carberry) of Good
Vibrations (bbC Films) and recently wrote the libretto for long
Story Short: the belfast opera. he is a senior lecturer in Creative
Writing at Queen’s University’s Seamus heaney Centre and a patron
of Fighting Words belfast.
in 2015 Angeline King, having already written two novels, gave up her
senior management role in sales and marketing, took the plunge and
became a full-time author! Snugville Street begins in 2003 when
hannah learns that her father’s return from prison to their Shankill
Road home will collide with the arrival of her French exchange,
etienne. The irish Times said of it: “an enjoyable coming-of-age tale
with a belfast twist.” a belfast Tale, a soulful, transatlantic tale of
troubles, love, friendship and hope is set between here and north
america and follows the road to peace from 1990. Currently angeline is
finishing a prequel to Snugville Street which should be published in
the next few months.
Tháinig Glenn Patterson sa saolréim litríochta in 1988 nuair a bhain a
chéad úrscéal ardmhola, burning Your own (scéal theacht in aois
suite i mbéal Feirste in 1969), duais betty Tusk agus Duais Ronney do
litríocht éireannach. is drámadóir agus déantóir scannán faisnéise é
agus tá an t-úrscéal is déanaí s’aigesean, Gull, bunaithe ar scéal
Delorean. Foilsíodh an dara cnuasach dá chuid iriseoireachta
nuachtáin agus raidió here’s Me here, anuraidh. is comhscríbhneoir
(le Colin Carberry) Good Vibrations (bbC Films) é agus ar na mallaibh,
scríobh sé an leabhróg do long Story Short: The belfast opera. is
léachtóir sinsearach i Scríbhneoireacht Chruthaitheach in ionad
Seamus heaney in ollscoil na banríona é, agus is pátrún Fighting
Words belfast é fosta.
Sa bhliain 2015, i ndiaidh di dhá úrscéal a scríobh, d’éirigh Angeline
King, as a ról bainistíochta sinsearaí i ndíolachán agus margaíocht, le
bheith ag obair mar údar lánaimseartha! Tosaíonn Snugville Street in
2003 nuair a fhaigheann hannah amach go dtiocfaidh teacht ar ais a
hathar ó phríosún go dtí a dteach ar bhóthar na Seanchille salach ar
theacht a mic leinn mhalartaithe, étienne. Rinne The irish Times cur
síos ar mar: “an enjoyable coming-of- age tale with a belfast twist.”
Scéal spreagtheach trasatlantach faoi na Tríoblóidí, grá, cairdeas
agus dóchas is ea é, a belfast Tale, atá suite idir an áit seo agus
Meiriceá Thuaidh. leanann sé bealach na síochána ó 1990. Faoi
láthair, tá angeline ag críochnú réamhúrscéal Snugville Street ba
chóir bheith foilsithe sa chúpla mí atá le teacht.

Lúnasa/Thursday 11 August, 2in/pm
i've just published 'Grandpa the Sniper,' a memoir/biography about my grandfather (and namesake). originally from
ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon he and his brother Jack took part in the easter Rising and was heavily involved in the War of
independence over the next five years. neither brother took part in the Civil War. it's a personal story my grandfather never really told - in fact he hardly spoke about any of it. i pulled it together using his letters and diaries as well as a deep dig into official records in
ireland and britain. The response has been fantastic -- though it's not a history lesson it is a very accessible personal story that runs
through momentous times.

PoLiTiCAL VioLeNCe, PArTiTioN
AND The CrAiG-CoLLiNS PACTS
Duncairn Cultural and Arts Centre, Mon 1st Aug, 5pm
The political and sectarian violence in belfast in the
early 1920s was likened by Winston Churchill to
‘cannibalism’ except that the perpetrators ‘stopped
short of devouring the flesh of their victims’. The six
months between the 1921 Treaty and the outbreak of
the irish Civil War witnessed a series of sectarian
atrocities in north belfast culminating in the mass
murder of the MacMahon family on 22 March 1922.
These disturbances involved Michael Collins, Winston
Churchill and Sir James Craig in several attempts to
end the unremitting bloodshed. This illustrated talk
will highlight the political instability, which stoked the
flames of violence, the role of the iRa and Ulster
Specials, the Craig-Collins Pact of March 1922 and
abortive efforts to enroll Catholics in the b Specials.

Ionad Ealaíon Cultúrtha Duncairn, Dé Luain 1 Lúnasa,5i.n.
Dúirt Winston Churchill go raibh an foréigean polaitiúil agus seicteach i mbéal Feirste mar a bhí ‘cannibalism’ ann ach maidir leis na
coirigh ‘stopped short of devouring the flesh of their victims’. Sna sé mhí idir Conradh 1921 agus tús Chogadh na gCarad, tharla sraith
ainghníomhartha i dTuaisceart bhéal Feirste arbh é olldhúnmharú theaghlach McMahon ar 22ú Márta 1922 an toradh a tháinig astu. Mar
gheall ar na hachrainn seo rinne Mícheál Ó Coileáin, Winston Churchill agus an Ridire James Craig roinnt iarrachtaí deireadh a chur leis an
doirteadh fola. Cuirfidh an chaint seo béim ar an ghuagacht pholaitiúil, a spreag an foréigean, ar ról Óglaigh na heireann agus na Ulster
Specials, Comhaontú Craig Uí Choileáin i mí Mhárta 1922 agus ar na hiarrachtaí mírathúla Caitlicigh a chlárú sna b Specials. Is staraí,
tráchtaire polaitiúil é an Dr. Éamon Phoenix agus tá sé ina bhall den Sainghrúpa Chomhairleach ar Chomórthaí Céad Bliain.

With assistance from the ‘exiled children in america’, and men and
women in britain, the stand taken by the revolutionaries of 1916
rocked the empire and reverberated across its far flung dominions
and colonial possessions. Dr. ruan o’Donnell examines the
fascinating strands of influence and effect emanating from and into
ireland during the first phase of the modern revolutionary period.
Ruan o’Donnell is Senior lecturer in history at the University of
limerick and the author of several books on the history of irish
republicanism, including Patrick Pearse, part of the 16lives series.

born into a world of privilege in 1868, as a
member of the landed gentry of Sligo,
Constance Markievicz turned her back on her
background to rise to prominence as a leader
of the easter Rising in 1916. She was the first
female MP elected to the house of Commons
in 1918 and the first female minister in
Western europe in 1919. however, she has
often been misrepresented and depicted
negatively in biographies. Using underused
and previously undiscovered sources Dr Laura
McAtackney will provide new insights into the
illusive and remarkable character of
Constance as a child, revolutionary, and, later,
as a campaigner for social justice. laura
Mcatackney is a native of belfast, and is
associate Professor in Sustainable heritage
Management in the archaeology department
of aarhus University in Denmark.

Dr richard Grayson analyses The battle of the Somme
from the perspectives of the two volunteer divisions, the
36th (Ulster) and 16th (irish) divisions (which drew heavily
on belfast recruits). he poses the intriguing question of
alternative history - what would have happened if the 16th
and 36th divisions had swapped places on the Somme? Dr
Grayson specialises in british and irish history in the
twentieth century, with a particular focus on ireland in the
era of the First World War. he is the author of belfast boys:
how Unionists and nationalists Fought and Died Together
in the First World War.

Déanfaidh an Dr. Richard Grayson anailís ar Chath an Somme ó

bhéal Feirste). Cuirfidh sé ceist fhíorshuimiúil faoi stair ailtéarnach
– cad é a d’fhéadfadh tarlú dá malartódh an16ú agus an 36ú
rannán a n-áiteanna ar an Somme? Tá speisialtóireacht ag an Dr.

in popular memory and imagination, inspired in large part
by the TV series blackadder and the work of various war
poets, the word ‘Somme’ conjures up images of blood, mud
and slaughter. however, some historians portray the
Somme as a victory for the british army, albeit one which
cost thousands of lives, and part of an essential ‘learning
process’ regarding tactics and artillery support. historian
Dr Timothy Bowman will not only consider these different
perspectives of the battle but how a small pre-war army,
largely focused on imperial policing, exponentially
expanded in a short space of time and how it coped with
the new type of warfare in WWi.

iáthair mar bhua, cé go bhfuair na míle daoine bás, agus mar
chuid de ‘próiseas foghlama’ riachtanach, ó thaobh teaicticí agus

The PUl (‘Protestant/Unionist/loyalist’) community is literally
immersed in Somme memory not just on 1st July each year but
365 days a year, every year. For many it involves the loss of a
forebear whose ‘blood sacrifice’ became part of the foundation
narrative of the northern ireland state. however, it was not
always like this. Jason burke, a Modern history Masters student
of QUb and author of We Must Prepare - Unionist Militancy in

motivations of those who commemorate the Somme in 2016. iriShMeN who FouGhT For & AGAiNST

Rising took place. Several more thousand were in ireland, acting
to suppress the Rising. Dr Brian hanley will examine the role of
irish soldiers during 1916, the many connections between the
rebels and the british military and the incidents where irishmen
on both sides faced each other directly. Dr brian hanley is a

actor Dan Gordon returns to the streets of his native east belfast to recruit young
Protestant bandsmen for a unique theatre project that explores questions about their
history and identity. When the flag protests hit the streets of east belfast in late 2012,
Dan Gordon was distressed to see the area in which he had grown up become the scene
of such conflict. The community that he remembered as being proud and confident
seemed disconnected, disillusioned and angry. in response, Dan set about devising a
remarkable theatre project with songs, poetry, music and drama. it would be part of the
belfast Festival at Queen’s but staged in an east belfast orange hall. and the performers
would be young men from local Protestant flute bands. What emerged was a
performance based around the experiences of men from the area who served in the First
World War. but as this Doubleband documentary for bbC northern ireland reveals, for the
young bandsmen, taking to the stage was not only a challenge, but an opportunity to
consider their own attitudes towards identify – and the flag. Produced by Michael
hewitt. Filmed and Directed by Adam Patterson. a Doubleband production for bbC
northern ireland. Supported by Féile’s Community engagement Programme funded by

bhéal Feirste dúchais chun fir banna óga Phrotastúnacha a earcú do
thionscadal amharclainne uathúil a scrúdaíonn ceisteanna faoina
stair agus a bhféiniúlacht. nuair a tharla na hagóidí brataí ar
shráideanna oirthear bhéal Feirste go mall in 2012, bhí Dan Gordon
trína chéile go raibh a leithéid den choimhlint seo ag dul ar aghaidh sa
cheantar inar fhás se aníos. bhí an chosúlacht go raibh an pobal ar
chuimhin leis a bhí bródúil, agus muiníneach anois dícheangailte,
lagmhisneach agus feargach. Mar fhreagairt dó seo, chuir Dan tús le
tionscadal amharclainne iontach ina mbeadh amhráin, filíocht, ceol
agus dráma. bheadh sé mar chuid d’Fhéile bhéal Feirste ag ollscoil na

on 18 June 1984 there was a bloody confrontation between the police and
striking miners at the orgreave Coking Plant in South Yorkshire. Miners
were indiscriminately attacked and 95 were charged. The first trial
collapsed because of the contradictory evidence. We now know that it was
fabricated to try to ensure convictions. The oTJC was set up in november
2012 to campaign for a public inquiry into the policing at orgreave, and to
establish who exactly was responsible for ordering the police assault.
Granville Williams founding member of the oTJC will talk about what
happened, the role of the media, and why the oTJC has been able to build
national and international support for a public inquiry.

ar 18 Meitheamh 1984, bhí caismirt fola idir na póilíní agus mianadóirí a
bhí ar stailc i Monarcha Cóic orgreave i nDeisceart Yorkshire. Rinneadh
ionsaí as éadan ar na mianadóirí agus cúisíodh 95 duine. Thit an tóin as an
chéad triail de dheasca na fianaise contrárthachta. Tá a fhios againn anois
gur cumadh an fhianaise seo le ciontuithe a chinntiú. bunaíodh oTJC i mí
na Samhna 2012 le dul i mbun feachtasaíochta d’fhiosrúchán phoiblí faoin
phóilíneacht ag orgreave, agus le fáil amach cé a bhí freagrach as ionsaí
na bpóilíní a ordú. labhróidh Granville Williams, ball bunaidh oJTC, faoinar
tharla, faoi ról na meán, agus faoin fháth a raibh an oTJC ábalta tacaíocht
náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta a fháil d’fhiosrúchán phoiblí.

Mary Boyle – The untold Story of ireland’s youngest and
Longest Missing Person
St Mary’s university College , Tues 9th Aug, 7pm
Mary Boyle
Gemma O’Doherty
Mary Boyle - The Untold Story is a documentary about ireland’s youngest and longest missing person
who vanished on her grandparents’ remote farm in Donegal in 1977. her remains have never been found.
For almost 40 years, senior police and media have promoted a theory that Mary was abducted by a
stranger but her identical twin sister ann and some of the first investigating officers believe that the sixyear-old was murdered by someone she knew. The film reveals allegations of political interference in the
early days after the murder, which shielded the killer despite compelling evidence against him. What
emerges is a police cover-up of grotesque proportions. Gemma O’Doherty is a multi-award winning
journalist who worked for the irish independent for 17 years where she was chief features writer. She is best
known for her work on the Fr niall Molloy murder, described in leinster house as the biggest cover-up in
the history of the state. She was fired from her job in 2013 after revealing the former garda commissioner
Martin Callinan had a speeding fine wiped. She is now a documentary-maker specialising in exposing
corruption in the irish criminal justice system. Chaired by Andrée Murphy, Deputy Director of Relatives for
Justice. Supported by Féile’s Community engagement Programme funded by esmée Fairbairn

Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Dé Máirt 9 Lúnasa, 2i.n. – 3.30i.n.
Mary Boyle – is scannán faisnéise é The Untold Story faoin Duine is Óige agus is Faide ar iarraidh in éirinn a d’imigh gan tásc na tuairisc ó
fheirm iargúlta a seantuismitheoirí i dTír Chonaill in 1977. níor thángthas ar a corp. le beagnach 40 bliain, chuir gardaí sinsearacha agus na
meáin an teoiric chun cinn gur fhuadaigh strainséir Mary ach creideann a leathchúpla deirféar comhionann agus roinnt de na chéadoifigigh
fiosraithe gur dhúnmharaigh duine a raibh aithne aici orthu í. nochtann an scannán líomhaintí faoi imirt tionchair pholaitiúil sna luathlaethanta
i ndiaidh an dúnmharaithe, a thug cosaint don dúnmharfóir in ainneoin na fianaise an-láidir ina éadan. is é an rud a nochtaítear ná forcheilt
scanrúil na ngardaí. is iriseoir í Gemma O’Doherty a bhfuil ilduaiseanna buaite aici, a d’oibrigh do The irish independent le 17 bliana anuas
mar a raibh sí ina príomhscríbhneoir gné-alt. Tá níos mó clú uirthi as a cuid oibre ar dhúnmharú an athair Frank Molloy, a ndearnadh cur síos
air i dTeach laighean mar an fhorcheilt ba mhó i stair na tire. briseadh as a post í in 2013 nuair a nocht sí gur glanadh fíneáil luais a gearradh ar

using original documents
released from the national
archives in london will reveal
a year-long internal debate in
the lead up to internment.
They reveal discussions
around where internees
should be held and how they
should be rounded-up. The
files also show how the RUC
Special branch was trained,
the allegiances of intended
internees (official or
Provisional) and how the first
swoop went ahead.
intriguingly, the files also
reveal an “arrest Policy for
Protestants” and the
eventual detainment of the
first loyalists.

Book launch and discussion
Pat walsh’s previous book ‘Catastrophe’ gives an account of
what happened in the north between 1914 and 1968. The
present book ‘resurgence’ explains why the primary
responsibility for the conflict in the north lies with the
architects and operators of the system that gave the minority
community a stark choice only between permanent secondclass status or war. and it describes how that War was ended to
the advantage of the community, though short of its final
objective, in such an effective way that momentum was carried
from war to politics. hosted by Mark Langhammer.
Resurgence
Dé Céadaoin 10 Lúnasa, 2.30i.n.
Seoleadh leabhair agus caint
i leabhar Pat Walsh ‘Catastrophe’ tugann sé cuntas ar na rudaí a tharla sa Tuaisceart idir 1914 agus 1968.
Sa leabhar is déanaí atá scríofa aige dar teideal ‘Resurgence’, míníonn sé na fáthanna a bhfuil an
phríomhfhreagracht as an choimhlint sa Tuaisceart ag údair agus oibreoirí an chórais a thug rogha lom
amháin don phobal mionlaigh, idir stádas mar shaoránach dara aicme nó dul i mbun cogaíochta. Déanann
sé cur síos ar an bhealach a cuireadh deireadh leis an Chogadh ar mhaithe le leas an phobail, cé gur theip
air ó thaobh a chuspóra dheireanaigh de, ach ar bhealach éifeachtach a chuir an pholaitíocht chun cinn in
áit na cogaíochta. Arna óstáil ag Mark Langhammer.

During the israeli offensive dubbed “operation Protective edge” in 2014, more than 140
Palestinian families lost three members or more in the Gaza Strip. Families usually stayed
together and slept in the same room. as a result, when direct strikes occurred, there was a
strong chance that a high number of people from the same family would be killed. The
difference between life and death in some instance was just a matter of seconds. 18-yearold ala balata survived because he left the living room to check the water tank on the roof.
he lost his parents and seven siblings in the attack. Photographer Anne Paq began
photographing during the offensive and has gone back since to photograph and interview
the families, most of who remain in the ruins. Through her photographs and words she will
explore the personal stories behind the statistics. Sponsored by relatives for Justice.

in 2016, 15 indigenous women, from the Sepur Zarco area of Guatemala, had the courage to go to court. They finally had their truth heard about
the sexual violence and domestic enslavement they suffered at the hands of the Guatemalan military. They also sought and achieved justice for
the murder and disappearances of their husbands in the early 1980s. Former members of the Guatemalan military were found guilty of crimes
against humanity. Blanca Blanco, Trócaire’s head of Region for Central america, will share her involvement with this important case.

The Republican Congress is an often
overlooked political organisation.
Though it never realised its full potential
it is a vitally important part of socialistrepublican history. it offered a vision,
however brief, of an alternative ireland
that wasn’t dominated by capital and
the church. it was able to bring the most
progressive forces together and got
them thinking about what type of
society they wanted, and what was
needed to achieve it. Film screening

i rith ionsaí iosrael ar tugadh “operation Protective edge” air in 2014, chaill breis agus 140
teaghlach Phalaistíneacha trí bhall nó níos mó dá dteaghlaigh i Stráice Gaza. D’fhan
teaghlaigh le chéile agus chodail siad sa seomra céanna de ghnáth. Dá dheasca seo, nuair a
tharla na hionsaithe díreacha, seans mór a bhí ann go marófaí líon ard daoine ón teaghlach
chéanna. i roinnt cásanna ní raibh an difear idir an saol agus an bás ach soicind. Mhair

Footprints/Coiscéim An Phiarseach
Padraig Pearse had a summer house in Ros Muc (which is still
standing) and wrote the beginnings of the proclamation and the
speech for o' Donovan Rossa's funeral there. but it is through his
short stories that she and her community share a real connection
with Pearse and this is her inspiration for her collection of work to
commemorate the 1916 Uprising. it currently involves three
parts.The first part is a set of paintings that focus on the main
characters in his short stories example bríd na namhrán, éoinín na
néan, and Íosagán. The second part is a set of paintings that show
the route nora took in the short story na bóithre. Pearse used
actual locations in Ros Muc that have not changed much since he
wrote the story. The third part is a set of paintings with the village
boundary stones. Pearse used the village names in Ros Muc in his

Michael McKernon
PS2 Film by artist Lyndsay Donly ‘STorMBirD - The life of Pádraic Fiacc in his own
Words, images and Poems’ is the result of a
collaboration between Pádraic Fiacc and artist Michael
McKernon over many years. McKernon and Fiacc talked
at length about many of the poems which are so
intertwined with Fiaccs life from a young age. in fact
they are a journal of his life. This film lays bare the true
heart of the SToRMbiRD, Pádraic Fiacc - his genius,
philosophy and desire to selflessly serve his fellow
man.
a film about St. James’ Farm
‘The comedian, W.C. Fields, is credited with the line, “never work with children or animals.” This line is echoed in jest by limbo and Dan, the men
behind St. James’s Farm, a project that started with a plot of unused ground and a few chickens in West belfast. as part of the community as
artist series, a Portrait of St. James's is the product of time spent in and around the farm, the kids, and the animals. The result is a collaboration
which is part storytelling/part documentation of the work and creativity involved in bringing farm animals into an urban landscape. The idea of
space becomes a theme throughout. The ownership and use of public space as a site for community engagement, as a site for raising, keeping,
and containing livestock, and as an area to be claimed, owned, and utilized. The imagery is driven by the juxtaposition of typically rural, timeless
scenes against the backdrop of the city. Space for ideas to develop. Space for childhood. Space as playground.’
The accompanying painting and photographic
exhibition includes pictures inspired by Padraic’s
poetry and life. There are portraits by neil Shawcross,
(belfast) - elena Sali (Spain) - Stevie Raelyn (California)
to name but some.

‘in This Solemn hour’ – re-imagining images from the easter rising
This exhibition, entitled ‘in This Solemn hour’, is an artistic interpretation of some of the most
iconic photographs relating to the easter 1916 Rising. From a sombre Roger Casement to a
defiant Countess Markievicz or a burnt-out GPo, this unique black and white series fully
captures the spirit and struggle of a country reborn.
Caoimhín McGiolla Cathain
The role of women in the Rising has been a major theme in this year’s national centenary
commemorations. With this in mind, the artist also produced a unique set of miniature
portraits depicting some of the women from across ireland who took active roles throughout
easter Week. These include Dr Kathleen lynn, Margaret Skinnider, helena Moloney and
Winifred Carney amongst many others. This set of miniature portraits is a follow-up to his very
successful 'Faces of Freedom' exhibition earlier this year which depicted the 16 executed
leaders of the Rising. Gallagher is an amateur artist from West belfast.

cityscapes from the basque Country.

wide range of art includes original pieces and limited edition prints.
Joanne is a graduate of the University of Ulster, belfast. Joe Ó Muircheartaigh
‘Seomra 1916’ is a foundation story of the easter Rising, as distinct from
being about the rebellion itself. Joe Ó Muircheartaigh is a
journalist/documentary maker who lives in ennis Co Clare. he recently
completed this 30-minute documentary called ‘Seomra 1916’,with artist
Shelagh honan. it tells the story of a famous meeting that took place in
September 1914, as which plans for a rebellion were first hatched. it took
place on 25 Parnell Square in Dublin, which at that time was headquarters of
the Gaelic league when the seven signatories of the Proclamation came
together for the first time as a group. The meeting room later became part of
a school, Coláiste Mhuire, which was an irish language secondary school that
he himself attended. The documentary tells the story of that room, what
went on there and how that it subsequently became a reference point and
touchstone for the very existence of an irish language secondary school in
many ways owed thanks to its existence for the men and women of 1916, and
particularly because of the famous meeting that took place within its walls.

brady loves mixing the old with the new. She enjoys vibrant colours
and texture. This comes out in her work where she explores mixed
media, always looking for innovative overlaps of texture. She uses a
wide variety of processes and materials in each project, pushing her
creativity in different directions. She is constantly
drawing; sometimes the drawings are left in the sketch book and
other times they develop into more in-depth ideas and images.

began i never believed how successful my work would become.
but then the biggest critic and self doubter you will ever meet
will be yourself. after many years of suffering from poor mental
health. and coming very close to ending my life. i decided to
ask for help. From that day my life has become so much better.
and i owe a lot of this too my love for photography and the
beauty on our doorstep. it gives me great pleasure to know my
work is in the homes of many people around the world and
here in ireland. Some of my work is on walls in belfast city hall.
and other important buildings. a view to a better mental

The Relatives for Justice Remembering Quilt is a project designed by families who
wish to remember their loved ones lost through the conflict. This project involves
dedicating a square to the memory of the loved one and is open to all families who
have lost as a result of the conflict irrespective of their experience or background.
Telling the story of grief and loss can overwhelm the individual, however through this
gentle process families can claim ownership of the relationships they once held dear
with their loved ones as they recall positive memories of how their loved one lived.
Deciding on how to design the square facilitates a narrative of the loved one’s life
according to the family that loved them. Families lovingly choose memorabilia and
themes that are intimate to them allowing a sense of privacy, dignity and respect for
their family member who is no longer here. although each square represents the
enormity of loss and enduring pain felt by families they also remain a loving
testimony to a life lived. a qualified tutor is on hand to assist and support families
who feel they cannot sew or represent their feelings adequately. if you would like to
find out more about the Remembering Quilt please contact: Mary Kate Quinn at

Méabha chose this particular image of Roger Casement because it has
a soft, contemplative mood which shows an essence of the man
to which she is drawn. The painting of Pádraic and William
Pearse invokes the very personal story of their Mother’s loss, which - as
the mother of two sons herself - touches the artist deeply. Méabha
paints an eclectic mix of subject matter and uses various media from
pure watercolour to soft pastels and acrylics, being particularly drawn

Noel Murphy
Stephen Quinn
noel Murphy was born in london in
1970. he graduated from the University
of Ulster with a degree in Fine art in
1994. he has exhibited regularly in
ireland with The Gorry Gallery (Dublin)
and in england. his work is held in public
collections in ireland, The burns library
in boston and The Glasnevin Museum in
Dublin. in 2003 noel Murphy painted
the northern ireland assembly in
Session. The painting hangs in the
Senate Chamber at Parliament
buildings. Murphy is a both a
perfectionist and an adventurist in his
desire to master the painterly
techniques of the past and the present.
his oeuvre over the past twenty years
has absorbed and transformed a
multitude of influences that have
informed his desire to explore both
traditional figuration and an expressive
abstraction. his resulting works
illustrate that he is a consummate
storyteller, mythmaker and visual poet
of a painter. amanda Croft.
no stranger to Féile an Phobail, Stephen
is a belfast born artist b.1989 Selftaught artist with experience using a
wide range of mediums-drawing
heavily from classical chiaroscuro styles
to graffiti art. This is often used to
politically question or to pay homage to
influential pop culture figures. This
exhibit is a direct result of positive
responses and support of work being
carried on unconventional surfaces,
namely takeaway boxes from fast food
chains used as replacement for
canvases. The underpinning concept
that art should not be restricted.
Maria McManus
a photographic exhibition of PoST!!! images of the old Post office in Clones from
Maria’s residency in May of 2015. PoST! a
homage to old post offices everywhere: for
love letters, chain letters, junk mail, hate
mail, postal workers and the occasional
rebellion. in 1916,the GPo in Dublin was
centre stage of the easter Rising. one
hundred years on, we hardly write letters,
we don’t send postcards from our holidays,
we don’t send telegrams nor use the
operator to connect our calls, and financial
transactions are largely electronic…..all
changed; changed utterly. (ahem..) in 2014,
the writer Maria McManus set out to
handwrite 365 letters in 365 days to… well,
she’d write to anyone who wanted one, and
some people who didn’t. She wrote to
friends, family, the curious, the President,
an Post, to prisoners and she left letters in
public spaces…… just to see what would
happen and so the CoRReSPonDenCe
project was born. in 2015 she undertook a
residency at The old Post office in Clones,
Co. Monaghan. it was no longer functioning
as an operational post office and the
exhibition images symbolize something
deep about the changes that are
happening. PoST! The old Post office
exhibition.
Deirdre Mackel

Deirdre focuses particularly upon affects arising in childhood, early memories that
somehow attach themselves to everyday domestic objects and come to acquire a
symbolic dimension in later life. humour comes into the work, through the
association of objects, as does the sculptural beauty of some objects that others
may dismiss as mundane or purely functional – finding beauty in various
situations. The work includes a dimension of childhood memory and makes
references to remembered childhood landscapes and streetscapes throughout the
conflict; playful associations between remembered and symbolic objects from
childhood. She arranges them so as to allow them to resonate together so that their
meaning is evocative and affective rather than merely rational; inviting the viewer
to hold them together in their minds so that their collective significance can grow
and take shape. objects that are readily dismissed as mundane or purely functional gradually reveal an unexpected dimension of feeling
and of meaning. We can discover beauty in the most ‘banal’ memories of things and an unexpected poignancy in half-remembered
situations.. Facebook: Deirdre Mackel artist

Niki Purcell
This artist looks at the women behind the 1916 Rising, and include portraits of
the Gifford sisters - Muriel was married to Thomas MacDonagh and the other,
Grace, to Joseph Plunkett.
The portrait of Muriel shows alongside her image, the words written by her
husband Thomas MacDonagh to her on the night before his execution.
Graces portrait refers to the story of marriage on the day of the execution and the
record of her buying the ring on o’Connell street on her way to the Castle.
Purcell’s grandfather was in Cumann na mban and her brother used to stand in
for Micheal Collins.

leaving | Video installation
Statement of Work:
Displacement, exclusion, unacknowledged experience; this work continues to explore the leaving behind of place and belonging. These
recollections are mere moments; remembered, forgotten; spoken and unspoken; utter normality juxtaposed with the extraordinary.
leaving is a film work that is loosely connected to the proposed theme for Féile an Phobail 2016. The stories told however, are directly connected
to the conflict, which, it could be said are a continuation of the conflicts we have experienced as irish people over the last 100+ years.

The Public Record office of northern ireland (PRoni) will be displaying its
exhibition on Constance (aka Countess Markievicz) and eva Gore-booth at Falls
library from 1st to 20th august.
This exhibition uses material from the lissadell archive at PRoni and explores the
lives of the sisters Constance (Countess Markievicz) and eva Gore-booth.
Constance and eva were born into a world characterised by privilege, comfort and
security - a world, lifestyle and upbringing against which they would both
ultimately rebel.

Falls Library

The two sisters were brought up in lissadell house, Co. Sligo. Constance would go
on to become a revolutionary nationalist, suffragette, socialist and was one of the
leaders of the easter Rising. eva would become an irish poet, dramatist, pacifist,
committed suffragist and labour activist.
The exhibition is the result of collaboration between staff at PRoni, Manchester
School of art, University College Dublin (UCD) and aarhus University in Denmark.
it examines the role that theatre, literature and art play in both their lives, and the
divergent political paths that they chose to follow.

awareness of the implications of crime, and
youth and community activists trying to
make a difference. a film debut by former
pupils of the open Doors learning Centre,

beautiful cinematography, but also puts into
perspective the impact on ordinary people,
the emergency services, our young people,
and the wider community. This project was
grant added by the PCSP. The views

The Féile an Phobail / Cork partnership continues
to flourish with another set of marathon runners
and rowers descending upon Cork this June.
Fourteen young people from both the hillhall area
of lisburn and the Colin area of belfast
participated in the ocean to City, an Rás Mór, in
which two of our teams came 2nd and 3rd
respectively in their race category! our marathon
team wasn’t so gracious with a time of slightly
over 5 hours recorded!
84
Jim o’Donovan with Padraig o Duininn
The partnership has continued to develop and grow thanks to many people from those in belfast and
lisburn, to those in Cork. but we would like to pay tribute to two people this year. one is Michael Corcoran
who sadly passed away within the past 6 months and was an exceptional character in the Cork marathon
team, carrying many a weary, battered and bruised runner over the finish line. he was an inspirational
individual and will be sadly missed by the belfast team with whom we often had many a great and late
night’s banter with. The other, who has made many of these things happen, is a very humble and modest
man, and one we will be eternally indebted to. Jim o’Donovan has been a staunch advocate of the belfast
/ Cork relationship and whilst we are sad to see him retire, we wish him the very best for all his future
exploits, and appreciate all his endeavours.

Multigenerational fun day
Falls road Library, 9th, 8th Aug, 4-6pm. Admission: Free
While standing at her tin bath and washboard Minnie Davidson reminisces and takes
us on a journey from 1928, the year she was born. Minnie has 5 siblings and is from a
typical working class belfast family. She tells of her thoughts and fears as an eleven
year old child, when she hears that war has been declared in 1939. her experiences
during the night of the blitz, and running to the hills for safety. The heartbreak of
being evacuated with her siblings to the country and leaving her mother. Minnie will
take the audience on a journey with her. They will roar with laughter one minute and
cry the next. For the people who have lived through the war years, they will identify
with Minnie's story and bring back a flood of memories. For those younger audiences
it is a thought provoking piece of theatre. For the last two years Sharon Dickson has
been performing this piece of theatre. She has taken it to limavady, Portglenone,
Dungiven, bangor, holywood, to name but a few. She has performed it mainly to
community and church groups across belfast . Sharon was asked by the Ulster Folk and
Transport Museum to perform it there as part of their 40's themed days. it went down
a storm and in turn the war museum has asked for it to be performed as part of their
belfast blitz memories project. Further information available from Falls Library on

Minnie agus na cuirfidh sé na sanlaethanta sin i gcuimhne dóibh. is dráma é seo a mbeidh ábhar machnaimh ann do na luchtaí féachana
níos óige. bhí Shaon Dickson ag taibhiú na drámaíochta seo le dhá bhliain anuas. Thaibhigh sí i léim an Mhadaidh, Port Chluain eoghain,
Dún Geimhin, beannchar, ard Mhic nasc agus in áiteanna eile fosta. Thaibhigh sí í go ghrúpaí pobail agus eaglaise ar fud bhéal Feirste go
príomhá. D’iarr iarsmalann Daoine agus iompair Uladh uirthi í a thaibhiú ansin mar chuid dá 40 lá téama. D’éirigh go hiontach léi agus
ansin d’iarr an iarsmall cogaidh uirthi í a thaibhiú mar chuid dá dtionscadal faoi chuimhní ar bhleaiste bhéal Feirste.

reconstructions and animation, this cinematic odyssey serves as both
the definitive account of a self-created irish martyr and a seismic
moment in 20th century irish history, the legacy of which we continue
to live with today. Sands own words form the heart of the film, through
his many poems, letters and ‘comms’ all penned inside prison, and in
particular, his personal diary which he kept for the first 17 days of his
hunger strike. Facebook:

This play from actor, writer and director Tony
Devlin and his award-winning company
brassneck Theatre focuses on the1981
hunger Strike, in which ten men gave their
lives in the struggle for political status and
irreversibly shaped political developments
for decades to come. in this unique piece of
theatre, we are given a deep insight into the
lives of each of the ten men, as to who they
really were. Through music, song, visuals
and performance, this one-person show
takes us on an extraordinary journey, of how
ten very ordinary men shook the world from
their prison cells. an ultimately uplifting
piece of theatre through tragedy of
Shakespearean proportions, ’1981 is the
story behind the legacy of the hunger Strike.

Celebrating Sailortown
although Sailortown is forever associated
with the once thriving maritime industry
that brought belfast fame and fortune, it
also reflects a history of struggle, resilience
and community spirit in the face of hardship
and poverty. With redevelopment in the
1960s the community was dispersed and
many settled in the nearby new lodge.
however the memories of old Sailortown
have never died and ties of kith and kin are
maintained to the present day. Much work
has been done since to document the story
of Sailortown and tales about the various
characters that once lived and worked there
have passed into legend. although the
present day Sailortown looks and feels much
different, efforts to regenerate the area
continue. as part of that process a special
celebration day has been organised by
Clanmil housing association and Sailortown
Regeneration Group.

walk by, once again, raising as much funds as possible for the children of
Gaza caught up in israel’s deadly bombardment of 2014. Thus money
raised from this year’s walk will towards providing therapeutic learning
to children suffering acute forms of stress due to the bombardment. it
will also provide training workshops to their parents on how to extend
psycho-social support into the household. Gaza’s overstretched health
system cannot meet the mental health needs of young people; so funds

written and performed by Maggie Cronin
Sun 7th Aug – Tues 9th Aug, 8pm
Rínce Gaelach, rac-cheol punc, máthracha na héireann agus
Dagenham - an cheart agat, sin Dagenham i londain - is iad sin cuid
den chúl bhrat ag an dráma brónach/greannmhar seo mar gheall ar
dhéagóir M agus a cara D - a chuirfidh ag gairí thú nó tá sé cineálta, glic,
grámhar agus, is aindiulaí hearóin é.
Set against a backdrop of Punk Rock, irish Dancing, irish mammies
and... Dagenham? (yes, Dagenham, east london). Greenstick boy is a
bittersweet story of teenager M and her best friend D, known to be a
brilliant laugh – he’s kind, clever, loving (in his own way) - he just also
happens to be a heroin addict.
They both want to escape and fast; they just have very different routes.
M is trying to scale the dizzy heights of showbiz and D is just losing his
way. one day the hidden hurt he has been carrying, the “greenstick”
fracture becomes too brittle and irrevocably broken and he is lost to her.
but soulmates are never what you’d expect them to be… are they?
