About the Exhibition:
Following the signing of the Belfast ‘Good Friday’ Agreement on April 10, 1998, Amanda Dunsmore began a dedicated practice spanning two decades, filming video portraits of each of the fourteen signatories. Each video work will be screened. Using time-based media, Dunsmore’s work punctuates how there is no shortcut to fully grasping the complex social ruptures left in the wake of colonialism, and how time, relationships, and sustained attention are key ingredients in building trust and understanding in service of positive change.
