This immersive exhibition will challenge the language of protest, surveillance, displacement, and defence, creating a space where organising, collaboration, and solidarity take centre stage.

But who are Array Collective?

Array Collective formed in 2016 taking part in the almost weekly rallies and protests in Belfast in solidarity around the issues of abortion rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, the Irish Language Act, Palestine, NHS cuts and climate change. The group devised ways of making a scene and using humour and irony to subvert the language of oppression and containment.

Although there has consistently been a need to speak up against atrocities, over the past 18 months there has been a rise in tensions resulting in more than weekly demonstrations. With the increasing threat to public protest and assembly the need for community and coming together is more prominent than ever.

We are pleased to present a new publication featuring a critical response to the exhibition by acclaimed poet and activist Sarah Clancy.

To celebrate the launch of the publication, join us for an engaging discussion between members of Array Collective and Sarah Clancy, followed by an audience Q&A. Thursday 27 February, 6 – 7.30pm.
