As part of the Féile History project, a major public participation initiative where we are engaging the community to help us piece together the dynamic and complex history of Féile an Phobail, we are developing a community archive section to chart and document the living history of West Belfast’s community festival. This interactive online space will be utilised to create a platform for previously unseen community artefacts and memorabilia that tell the story of Féile an Phobail and the associated community revival which took place amongst a marginalised working-class community during the years the conflict. We’re developing this website in partnership with the community and invite all those interested in this history, including those with their own stories to tell and artefacts to share, to contact us and take part.
From April 2016, you will be able to interact with and upload content, helping us to tell the story of the West Belfast community that made Féile the renowned festival that it is. |
