This pioneering study offers rich insights into the visual and theatre arts landscape
of Northern Ireland. Keatings disciplined and purposeful focus on Duffy, McClean,
McFetridge and Burke illuminates the variousness of their art activism and political
engagement, while also claiming space for the individual aesthetic and public responsibility
that characterises this ground-breaking group. - Eve Patten, Director, Trinity Long
Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland This
book provides great insight into practices of four women, whose work has impacted
the Irish cultural scene on both sides of the border. It offers alternative perspectives
to traditional art history texts by taking cross cutting, interdisciplinary approaches
to the analysis of their artistic practice. - Marguerite Nugent, Director of Culture
at CV Life Trust, Coventry, UK This book mines the space where aesthetic expression
meets lived experience for Rita Duffy, Mairad McClean, Paula McFetridge and Ursula
Burke. Portrait essays woven with photographs, document each artists coming of age
in Ireland and Northern Ireland, in the context of her emerging practice. As individuals,
their work considers infringements on human rights, systemic violence, gender roles
and the negotiation of figurative and literal borders and boundaries. Together, they
interrogate conflict and emergence from conflict, locally and globally. Their critical
work is threaded with hope, contextualized by past and present political fragmentation.
Works considered include Rita Duffys paintings, drawings and animation like Siege,
The Emperor Has No Clothes and Anatomy of Hope; Mairad McCleans films No More, Broadcast
and Making Her Mark; Paula McFetridges productions like convictions, staged at the
Crumlin Road Courthouse, This is What We Sang, performed at the Belfast Synagogue
