An International Women’s Day exhibition entitled ‘Fragments of Palestine’ is being hosted by Derry’s Eden Place Arts’ Centre, housed in Pilots’ Row community centre in Derry’s Bogside.
Speaking to The Derry News, Judi Logue, the Centre’s co-ordinator described ‘Fragments of Palestine’ as a multi-media exhibition by artists from across the island of Ireland.
“It was created in response to ‘The Beautiful Resistance Tour 2024' - a philosophy promoting life and inspiring hope as well as offering possibilities through performing and visual arts, culture and education,” she added.
‘In May last year we had the privilege of hosting the Derry leg of the ‘Beautiful Resistance’ Tour.
“Hearing the philosophy of this powerful movement of change and how the arts have enriched the lives of so many who participate in the Alrowwad Arts and Cultural Centre in the Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, a number of artists got together with us and came up with the idea of having a group exhibition for International Women’s Day 2025.

“This exhibition will also include a number of postcards which will be sent to the Alrowwad Centre in Bethlehem with love from our Arts Centre here in Derry.”
