DESCRIPTION:Join Queer Shed Béal Feirste for this decolonial history worksh
	op to discover\nBelfast's Medieval artifiacts and reimagine them through c
	lay!\n\nPrehistoric iron sword found around High Street ... neolithic axes
	 at City\nAirport … old town defences under Victoria Square … could there 
	be Gaelic castle\nfoundations under Dunnes Stores?\n\nBéal Feirste’s past 
	is long and buried (literally). Artefacts from our oldest\,\nand for some 
	inconvenient\, history have already been found beneath our\nbuildings\, sh
	ops and streets and Archaeologists believe that much more could\nstill be 
	buried for us to rediscover. Under the lives we live around town today\,\n
	a whole Medieval world could wait. Join Queer Shed Béal Feirste for this\n
	decolonial history workshop to excavate and reimagine some of our earliest
	\npossibilities.\n\nThe workshop will start with a talk from local history
	 tour guide Derbhla\nMcDermott (derbhla.ie [http://derbhla.ie]) exploring 
	archaeological digs across\nour town\, what has been found\, and what coul
	d still be waiting patiently for us\nto claim. Then Ceramicist Laura Potts
	 (pot.t.s) will be on hand to guide us in\ncreating our own ancient Belfas
	t artefact in clay\, drawing from examples of the\ncool/weird/interesting 
	Medieval things found around Belfast\, the rest of Ireland\nor wherever ou
	r imagination takes us. This is a shared history for us to build\nin our h
	ands\, rediscover and reinvent in whatever new ancient ways we feel like.\
	n\nEveryone’s clay artefacts will be kiln fired by Laura\, and then a furt
	her date\narranged for collection after the workshop.\n\n★ HISTORY IS NOW
