In Peace, Apart
The River Foyle runs through the Northern Ireland border city of Londonderry/Derry, both physically and symbolically dividing the community, Irish against British, Catholic against Protestant, Green against Blue. In collaboration with the Nerve Centre, four students come together to explore the personal, social, political, and geographic separation in the city’s history.
“A Protestant and Catholic schoolgirl from Derry swap uniforms and take a walk through their city together to make a short film. In another place, the act wouldn’t be remarkable but in Northern Ireland, where emblems, colours, flags and uniforms are potent symbols of difference, it is utterly subversive.” – The Irish Independent

Jazz composer and pianist Neil Cowley was selected, and during 2013 spent many weeks working with the city's local musicians and young people, workshopping and writing music.
