Enabling "Cultural Conservations" across the border

Cultural Conversations is a conversational and dialogue-through- literature based programme about ‘cultural imagination/s’ and ‘identity’, open to individuals from different community backgrounds in the Leitrim, Fermanagh, Sligo and East Belfast areas.
This programme focuses on writing informed in some way or by an experience of ‘being Protestant’ and brings together texts by southern and northern authors writing at various junctures over the last 100 years.
It consists of seven weekly online sessions, commencing Thursday, March 10 (7.30-9.15pm), leading to two in-person events in Sligo and East Belfast, programmed to broaden and deepen discussions.

All sessions will include inputs by Dr Connal Parr, (Humanities Dept. University of Northumbria) and guest speakers.
Weekly sessions will include group and plenary discussions, and is delivered in partnership with The Yeats Society, Sligo and Eastside Arts, Belfast.

Knitting the Land

A creative knitting and crocheting project will bring together women from different community traditions across Fermanagh and Leitrim to celebrate connections to nature, land and each other.
Recognising the layers of history and the recent isolating effect of the pandemic, the project hopes to support women in the re-valuing of their relationships.
