Portrait essays woven with photographs, document each artist’s 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 past and present conflict and emergence from conflict, locally and globally. Their critical work is threaded with hope in the context of past and present political fragmentation. Works considered include Rita Duffy’s paintings, drawings and animation like \u003ci\u003eSiege\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor Has No Clothes \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAnatomy of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e; Mairéad McClean’s films \u003ci\u003eNo More, Broadcast \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMaking Her Mark;\u003c\/i\u003e Paula McFetridge’s productions like \u003ci\u003econvictions\u003c\/i\u003e, staged at the Crumlin Road Courthouse,\u003ci\u003e This is What We Sang\u003c\/i\u003e, performed at the Belfast Synagogue and \u003ci\u003eBelfast Quartered, A Love Story, \u003c\/i\u003ea promenade through Belfast’s LGBTQ+ underground; and Ursula Burke’s sculptures like \u003ci\u003eBonfire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlue Sphinx \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePeach Caryatid\u003c\/i\u003e, and embroidery like \u003ci\u003eThe Politicians Frieze.  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-08-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031340734\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-34074-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 195\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45442572877964,"sku":"9783031340734","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031340734.jpg?v=1776869431","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031340734","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
