Launch of Declan Keeney's Frictionless and Joe Campbell Peacemakers
As part of the ‘Art in the place of Conflict’ peacebuilding conference.
A series of talks, presentations, conversations, podcasts, artworks, film and a live screening of a theatre production by The Playhouse Theatre and Peacebuilding Academy.
Here, renowned filmmaker Declan Keeney introduces and launches his ground-breaking Virtual Reality film entitled Frictionless which foregrounds stories related to The Troubles and lives / incidents on the Border. The participants were filmed in the “location” of their story, and post-production VR technology recreates the sights and sounds of the story being told.
Following that, critically acclaimed artist Joseph Campbell launches and discusses the creation of his Graphic Novel themed on The Peacemakers” – this work features the stories of key peacemakers – those, that no matter where their starting point, moved towards a more peaceful society in the midst of and after the conflict in Northern Ireland. The finished work will be presented as a high quality hard -copy and digital publication and will be distributed as a key educational resource in the education and community sectors. Joseph will be in conversation with one of those featured in the work: Rev Dr David Latimer. See the book online here [ Ссылка ]
