Eden Place Arts Centre in Derry to launch 'Fragments of Palestine' art exhibition

‘Fragments of Palestine’ is a multi-media exhibition by artists from across the island of Ireland. It was created in response to 'The Beautiful Resistance Tour 2024'.

The Beautiful Resistance is described as a philosophy which is ‘promoting life and inspiring hope as well as offering possibilities through performing and visual arts, culture and education’. The launch of the new exhibition will take place on Monday, March 3 at 7pm in Eden Place Arts Centre and an open invite has been extended to everyone to come along. Speaking ahead of the launch, Judi Logue, Arts Centre Co-ordinator said: “In May last year we had the privilege of hosting the Derry leg of the ‘Beautiful Resistance’ Tour.

"Hearing the philosophy of this powerful movement of change and how the arts have enriched the lives of so many who participate in the Alrowwad Arts and Cutural Centre in the Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, a number of artists got together with us and came up with the idea of having a group exhibition for International Women’s Day 2025.

"This exhibition will also include a number of postcards which will be sent to the Alrowwad Centre in Bethlehem with love from our Arts Centre here in Derry.”

The exhibition will continue until March 28 and the viewing times are Monday to Thursday from 10am to 8pm.

Eden Place Arts Centre is supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland through Lottery Funding.
