| Exhibition and conference: | How Transitional Justice Ideas Travel: Dealing with the Legacy of the Past in Northern Ireland and Colombia |
| Description: | This one-day conference brings together high-profile scholars and practitioners from Colombia and Northern Ireland to explore how ideas in transitional justice travel across different jurisdictions, types of conflict and find expression in mechanisms for dealing with the past.
Concentrating on the synergies, differences and lessons learnt between the Northern Ireland and Colombian transitions, the conference examines the following themes:
-Justice, accountability and dealing with the past;
-The mechanics of truth recovery; victims' rights, reparations and acknowledgement;
-How transitional justice ideas travel.
A selection of textiles from the Conflict Textiles collection focused on Colombia and Northern Ireland will be on display at the conference. These arpilleras, quilt, banner and textile installation which depict conflict, displacement, human rights violations and resistance against these violations speak to the conference theme of ‘how ideas travel.’
