| Saturday 03 December | The Helicon, Bellaghy | Fintan O'Toole: A Place in the World: Belonging after Brexit | From the 1916 commemorations to Brexit, 2016 has been an emotionally charged year both at home and abroad, raising challenging questions about nation, identity and place. In this post-Brexit landscape, what does a sense of ‘belonging’ mean, and how might it change? Will Brexit damage relations between North and South, or will artists find ways to circumvent the new borders (whether physical, psychological or symbolic)? A lively debate with author and journalist Fintan O’Toole as he examines the ways in which Brexit is redrawing the cultural map. |
