The Linen Hall will be hosting the Peace Heroines exhibition from Thursday 3 June until Saturday 30 September.
Peace Heroines is an extraordinary showcase that celebrates women who, spanning the political spectrum, tirelessly worked towards establishing peace. Join us at The Linen Hall and discover the power of nine thought-provoking portraits, skilfully crafted by renowned Northern Ireland artist FRIZ.
Through their captivating expressions, these portraits pay tribute to remarkable women such as Monica McWilliams, Baroness May Blood, Eileen Weir, Pat Hume, Bronagh Hinds, Susan McCrory, Saidie Patterson, Pearl Sagar, and Anne Carr.
These trailblazing women have left an indelible mark on society, supporting victims of sectarian violence, championing integrated education, initiating transformative cross-community projects, organising impactful peace marches, and empowering women in political and public spheres.
The Peace Heroines exhibition will also continue its display at 2 Royal Avenue, featuring over 30 additional panels that explore the stories of more women of extraordinary courage.
Peace Heroines is a partnership between Herstory and National Museums NI. Supported by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs Reconciliation Fund, Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Ireland Funds of Great Britain, and the Integrated Education Fund.
