Felt Memory: A Creative Workshop for the Irish in Britain
About this Event
The Troubles and the Peace Process are slowly passing out of living memory, but they still shape the lives of Irish people in Britain, and of their children and grandchildren. The project will hear those personal stories and help preserve family memories, while giving people the chance to express complex feelings in creative ways.
Felt Memory is a new project from the University of Salford, working with King's College London and Syracuse University London. We want to hear how the Troubles are felt and remembered in Britain today, and we are inviting you to help shape what the project does next.
Two evenings, for two different groups
Thursday 18 February is for people who remember the Troubles themselves. Friday 19 February is for people whose sense of the Troubles has come through their family or community. Choose the evening that fits you when you book, and please book one evening only.
Who can take part
Anyone aged 18 or over of Irish or Northern Irish heritage, living in Britain, with a connection to the Troubles or its memory. No expertise is needed, and you do not need to have first-hand experience of violence: we want to hear from people with a wide variety of experiences.
Taking part is free and refreshments are provided, but we are not able to cover travel costs.
Access
The building is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet on the ground floor.
