About the Exhibition
This new set of video and photographic works by Sara Greavu considers
the Halloween carnival in Derry as a crack in the foundation of everyday
society. Through this fissure erupt alternative histories, temporalities and
narratives. The costumed chaos of the masquerade reveals as much as
it conceals, providing a distorted lens through which to view the complex
fears, desires, loyalties and longings of a 'post-conflict' society.
