There’s a new exhibition of emotionally-charged portraits at the Centre Culturel Irlandais, depicting people who lost a love one – sometimes several – during the troubles in Northern Ireland.

Beautiful paintings filled with melancholy, just minutes from our hotels.

Here’s all the info.

Colin Davidson is increasingly interested by the human face as an manifestation of a person’s experiences. Heret ‘Silent Testimony’ series shows individuals affected by the troubles in Northern Ireland that started in the 1960s, with personal stories that are often exceptionally sad.

Davidson will be present on 29th January at 7.30pm to lead a guided visit of his own works, and this will be followed at 7.30pm by an English reading of Stabat Mater Furiosa, Jean-Pierre Siméon’s play against war and violence (free, but you should book).

You can also attend the exhibition opening which is on 28th January starting 6.30pm.

The Colin Davidson exhibition is at the Centre Culturel Irlandais (here) from 29th January – 6 March 2016

Open every day except Mondays – Tuesday to Satruday, 2-6pm, Wednesdays 2-8pm and Sundays from 12.30-2.30pm

Free!
