Rita Duffy: Thaw
Rita Duffy Northern Ireland

Rita Duffy proposes Thaw – a project that would take the enduring legacy of the Titanic as a starting point of an exploration of the psychological landscape that emerged from the iconic ship’s meeting with an iceberg; the recent troubles in the country; as well as looking at the implications of global warming. The project would produce a number of site specific works, including an ice corridor on the Belfast Peace Line, that would be inclusive, magical and reflect local, national and global issues.

A U-Tube video about the Special Edition of the New York Post (fake) which was distributed throughout the city yesterday by the Yes Men. This is a great example of activism and an inspiration on how to bring global warming onto the stage in a very powerful way. Rita Duffy
