A conference was organised at Queen’s University Belfast last month to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. On the flanks of this ticketed, barricaded, high-security fiesta, a range of cultural events foregrounded the faces, voices and impact of community leaders and organisers who have worked towards equality and reconciliation before and after armed conflict officially ceased. Amanda Dunsmore’s Agreement, a set of Warholian durational video portraits of the original political engineers of the peace agreement, was showing at Ulster University. HIVE, a community choir, performed live, delivering an impishly funny choral rearrangement of the 35-page at Queen’s University’s Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC). Maria Fusco’s new opera-film, History of the Present, had its premiere at the Queen’s Film Theatre.
