Photography Exhibit: Sean McKernan’s “Belfast: Conflict to Peace”


October 19-25
Photography Exhibit: Sean McKernan’s “Belfast: Conflict to Peace”
In this powerful and revealing photographic retrospective, renowned Belfast documentary photographer Sean McKernan has assembled a rare collection of images that depict four decades of the turbulent history of a deeply divided society and the arduous path to peace.  Covering the period of hunger strikes of 1981 through the 1998 peace process, and even more modern images including post-Brexit and the disputes about the Irish language in Northern Ireland, these visually stunning images are both epic and highly personal… shedding light on a shared history that continues to resonate with people worldwide.  Opening reception on Wed Oct 19, on display at the Center through Tue Oct 25.
Made possible with the support of Culture Ireland.
