The Druthaib's Ball - Gallery Days 2023

Turner Prize-winning installation, The Druthaib’s Ball, by Belfast’s Array Collective, is now on display at the Ulster Museum
Array Collective are the first artists from Northern Ireland to win the prestigious Turner Prize and the installation is available to experience now until 3 September.
The Druthaib’s Ball installation is a response to issues such as abortion, queer liberation, gay rights and mental health. The installation is centred on an imagined ‘síbín’ - an illicit drinking den - with a floating roof made from banners created for protests and demonstrations. It is approached through a circle of flag poles referencing ancient Irish ceremonial sites and contemporary structures and is described as “a place to gather outside the sectarian divides”.
