Creating a World Without Violence Against Women & Girls: The Role of the Arts

25 November, 2022

We are pleased to announce that the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen’s will host an international conference in November on the role of creative activism in ending violence against women and girls.

Creating a World Without Violence Against Women & Girls: The Role of the Arts 
Fri 25 - Sat 26 Nov 2022  

This two-day event, which will mark the UN’s International Day to End Violence Against Women & Girls, will take place in-person at Queen’s University Belfast, and online. It will bring together activists, creative practitioners, academics and survivors. 

Keynote speakers include author, activist and Belfast rape survivor Winnie M Li (Dark Chapter 2017, and Complicit 2022), who co-founded the UK’s first-ever arts festival addressing sexual assault and consent, and Professor Robin E. Field, author of Writing the Survivor: The Rape Novel in Late Twentieth-Century American Fiction and Natasha Cuddington and Ruth Carr, editors of the ground breaking anthology, Her Other Language: Northern Irish Women Writers Address Domestic Violence and Abuse. 

The conference is hosted by the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's University, and organised by Dr Hilary McCollum (Publishing Fellow at the Seamus Heaney Centre), with support from colleagues across the University. 

ENDS…
