In December 2021, Array Collective became the first artists from Northern Ireland to win the prestigious Turner Prize. Their winning artwork has been realised twice over. In Belfast, it was a wake for the centenary of Ireland’s partition. For the Turner Prize exhibition, the event was transformed into an immersive installation, where an imagined síbín (a ‘pub without permission’) hosted a film created from the Belfast event. Array invite us into a place of contradictions where trauma, dark humour, frustration, and release coexist, in a gathering place outside sectarian divides.
