Program Description

Array Collective artists Jane Butler, Emma Campbell and Clodagh Lavelle will facilitate a five-day workshop drawing upon ancient mythology and folklore as a way to reflect stories about contemporary human conditions. Through site-specific drawing sessions, worldbuilding from found ephemera, collaboration and performance, we'll develop characters that will allow us to consider our own stories, and reflect issues that we care about within our communities. Array Collective are a group of eleven artists rooted in Belfast, who create collaborative actions in response to socio-political issues affecting Northern Ireland. They have been working together since 2016, galvanised by the growing anger and momentum in local movements advocating for human rights. Array Collective reclaim and questions traditional identities in the North of Ireland using humour, storytelling, and DIY approaches. They playfully merge performance, protest, ancient mythology, photography, installation and video.
