ARTIST’S TALK SERIES I, 20 September 2006, 6 – 7.15pm
Anthony Haughey will discuss the making of Between, an 18 month, collaborative visual media project critically exploring negotiation of citizenship with residents in a Government of Ireland Reception Centre for Asylum Seekers, a former Butlins Holiday Camp, Ireland. Mosney became a reception centre for asylum seekers in 2000 and is now home to more than 450 asylum seekers from all over the world. Many of these residents have lived in an ‘in-between’ state of existence for more than three years waiting for a decision from the Department of Justice for leave to remain, or notice of deportation. Anthony will discuss his experiences and emerging work with the current residents of Mosney
Anthony Haughey is an artist and Senior Research Fellow at Interface, the Centre for Research in Art, Technologies and Design at Ulster University.
Andrea Lange will talk about the making of Refugee Talks, a 33minute film made with refugees from different countries, resident in a state reception centre in Oslo during the winter of 1998. Lange will discuss the process of negotiating and realising Refugee Talks. She will identify issues and concerns that arose during the making of the work and consider some public and the media responses.
Andrea Lange is an artist based in Oslo, Norway.
