In association with the exhibition, The Long Note in the Project Spaces, award winning artist Helen Cammock is joined in conversation with Mary Cremin, Director, Void, Derry. This talk explores the process of commissioning, researching and the making of Cammock’s seminal film The Long Note, which features interviews with key women figures of the civil rights movement in Derry in capturing the importance of the female voice within Ireland’s history.
Recognising the need to highlight the centrality of women 50 years on from what was a pivotal moment in Derry in 1968, this discussion more broadly considers the ways Cammock’s work contextualise events within universal struggles and geopolitics. This timely discussion with Cammock on her work, also makes evident the recurring nature of historical events that pertain to more recent events of the current social political climate.
