Presented as part
of the city-wide collaborative event, "Charlotte Celebrates its
Celtic Traditions", Troubled: Photography, Film and Video from
Northern Ireland brings together images of contemporary life in
Northern Ireland.
This multipart
exhibition responds to the nearly 30 years of sectarian conflict
between Catholics and Protestants, known as the "troubles", and
reflects "troubled" themes of uneasiness.
