| Rotating exhibition: | The Troubles and Beyond: Mujeres Disruptivas / Disruptive Women |
| Description: | Textiles from the international Conflict Textiles collection are an integral element within the "The Troubles and Beyond" exhibition and are rotated on an annual basis. This collaboration commenced with an Arpillera Doll Making Workshop in 2017 and has since led to the creative exchange of objects and ideas.
The 2023 installation features a selection of textiles from the exhibition "Mujeres Disruptivas / Disruptive Women", which marks the 15th anniversary of Conflict Textiles inaugural exhibition The Politics of Chilean Arpilleras (2008). It builds on a ten year plus collaborative relationship with Fundació Ateneu Sant Roc. “Mujeres Disruptivas / Disruptive Women” is the second co-curated exhibition and adds a new dimension to the Fundació Ateneu Sant Roc exhibition Mujeres Disruptivas / Disruptive Women (Badalona, 2019).
The exhibition trail, which is announced in the Tower Museum with a display of archive material and an arpillera, takes place across three venues:
-Flowerfield Arts Centre will feature the bulk of the Mujeres Disruptivas / Disruptive Women exhibition.
-Conflict Textiles collection: Magee Campus Library, Ulster University.
-“The Troubles and Beyond” exhibition space.
Textiles from Conflict Textiles collection are linked in the 'Textiles displayed' section below. Fundació Ateneu Sant Roc textiles can be viewed at the following links (Catalan): They Shall not Pass! and 8th of March.
A hands on textile workshop, facilitated by two arpilleristas from the Fundació Ateneu Sant Roc, Badalona, takes place on Wednesday 26 April, 2 - 4.30pm, the Education Room, Ulster Museum.
(Details of the inaugural and subsequent exhibitions are available at The Troubles and Beyond 30 March 2018 – 30 March 2019).
