This banner was created with participants from the Derry branch of The Rainbow Project, an organisation that promotes the health and wellbeing of lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender people and their families in Northern Ireland. The four-faced banner was designed and produced by the artist and participants using collage and cut-up techniques. Each of the four faces relates to the various experiences and struggles of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and can be seen as a celebration of queer experience in Northern Ireland.
The Centre for Contemporary Art creates opportunities for audiences to experience ambitious, experimental and engaging art, and for emerging artists to develop successful careers. They welcome artists and projects with a connection to our region and collaborate with others to strengthen the arts, locally, nationally and internationally. Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA) fosters a wide range of artistic, curatorial, and critical practices through five programme streams: research and production, exhibition-making, public programmes, publishing, and residencies.
