Cutural Events SPRING 2007 [VISUAL ARTS] Monday 5th to Saturday 24th February Flowerfield Arts Centre, Portstewart Exhibition New Light Through Old Windows This exhibition, created by Steve Lowry, a microscopist at the University of Ulster, centres on images taken from old Victorian microscope slides. Victorian microscopists were great enthusiasts for creating visually stimulating, colourful, abstract microscopic preparations for viewing through a ‘polariscope’. These were largely created as art, rather than for their scientific value. Using modern photographic technology it is now possible to bring this wealth of hidden beauty to a wider audience. The micrographs in the exhibition are accompanied by manipulated images printed on to a range of materials using state-of-the-art textile and visual art methodologies, which have been produced by Interface, the University’s research centre in art technologies and design. The exhibition will also be on show at the Clotworthy Arts Centre, Antrim from 6th to 30th March and will then tour to further venues. Check www.culture.ulster.ac.uk for updated venue details. Admission: Free Information: Cultural Development Office at the Coleraine campus on (028) 7032 4449 or j.mackle@ulster.ac.uk [MUSIC] Tuesday 13th February 1.00pm, Mezzanine level, Jordanstown campus Lunchtime Gig Ben Glover Ben Glover was sixteen when he started performing in his home village of Glenarm. Influenced by Tom Waits and Bob Dylan, Ben’s music is subtle acousticrock, coloured by lyrics filled with stark poetic imagery. His sound has hints of Americana but at the core of the songs is Ben’s instantly recognisable voice and the natural influence of his Irish roots. Ben is fast building a reputation amongst his audiences as one of the most intriguing and captivating artists emerging from Ireland. His recent half hour live session recorded at the Opera House for BBC Radio Ulster’s ‘Across the Line’ has helped propel him into the front line of Ireland’s ‘A List’ artists. Admission: Free Information: Cultural Development Office at the Belfast campus on (028) 9026 7286 or t.kerr@ulster.ac.uk [FILM/MEDIA] Wednesday 14th February 1.00pm, the Link Lounge, Coleraine Centre for Media Research Documenting Memories: The Role of the Documentary Maker in Constructing 'Narratives of Trauma’ Anne Crilly, Lecturer in the School of Media, Film and Journalism and award-winning documentary film maker, will screen and discuss her documentary film Lifting a Dark Cloud: The Kathleen Thompson Case. In November 1971, Derry mother Kathleen Thompson was killed by the British Army in her back garden. Like many other cases at the time, there was never a police investigation into her death and no one was ever charged with her murder. This is the story of the forgotten events of that night and the legacy it left for a family and a community. This continues Crilly's recent work in exploring issues of grief and closure in post conflict Northern Ireland in the award winning short film Limbo and the documentary Witness: the Bloody Sunday Inquiry Admission: Free Information: Cultural Development Office at the Coleraine campus on (028) 7032 4449 or j.mackle@ulster.ac.uk
[LITERATURE] Thursday 15th February 1.15pm - 2.15pm, the Boardroom, Jordanstown campus Eating Words: Poetry, Cookery, and the Art of Translation Born in Moscow in 1972, Slav Shumov is a freelance translator, specializing in TV script translations. In this talk he will discuss the art of translating poetry, comparing it to the art of cookery. If a recipe requires unavoidable substitution of ingredients, omission of ingredients and unfamiliar methods of preparation the cook must decide if the dish can be presented as ‘authentic’ in any meaningful sense. The translator must also decide; is this dish translatable at all? If it is, will it bear sufficient resemblance to the original in order to be presented as authentic? If the answer to any of these is ‘no’, then it is better to leave it alone and to turn the page. Admission: Free Information: Cultural Development Office at the Coleraine campus on (028) 7032 4449 or j.mackle@ulster.ac.uk [LITERATURE] Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th February Coleraine campus and external venues MANY VOICES Festival of Literature The Many Voices Festival of Literature, now in its fourth year, has established itself as an annual celebration of the spoken and the written word.

Many Voices showcases great writing in all genres through a programme of readings, workshops and panel discussions. This year one emphasis is on the novel, and we are delighted to welcome Colin Bateman, John Connolly and Bernard MacLaverty, but there are also contributions from leading journalists and poets as well as creative writing workshops for adults and children.
