Memorial/Unmemorial: A Reflection on Conflict Legacy, Belfast Exposed – March 22 & 23
Artist Gwen Stevenson’s exhibition ‘Memorial/Unmemorial’ intricately contrasts remembrance and memorialisation in Northern Ireland’s contemporary context.
Gwen spent a whole year crossing the border reciting the names and ages of those who anniversaries of death, fatal injury or disappearance coincided with each date.
The exhibition is a culmination of this durational journey, utilising daily footage and a soundtrack, allowing visitors to engage with the profound narrative at their own pace, prompting reflection on the enduring legacy of conflict and the profound impact of memorialization.
