Prepare for a cultural explosion and a feast of events to celebrate 2024’s Culture Night across the city and district. Derry and Strabane will join with villages, towns and cities across the island of Ireland to host a celebration of arts with an abundance of vibrant and exciting events over one wonderful evening.
At St Columb’s Hall, photographer Deirdre Brennan presents Looking for Brigid, a special photographic and audio project commemorating the 1500th anniversary of St. Brigid’s death. This exhibition celebrates women and children named Brigid (or its variations), featuring portraits of 32 participants, ranging in age from 8 weeks to 108. Through these images and stories, Brennan honours the lives and contributions of women in Derry, capturing their powerful histories.
