Culture, politics and music
Cultural itineraries between Belfast and Derry to understand the North of Ireland's history and identity through its places, collective memory, and music.
Not a typical touristic tour, but rather an experience in the neighbourhoods that marked the conflict and the transformation of Northern Irish society.
Belfast – Memory and Transformation
An itinerary between the Falls Road and the Shankill Road, political murals, Peace Walls and working-class neighborhoods.
A story that intertwines history, everyday life, and urban change, between tension and reconciliation.
Derry – Identity and Culture
From the Bogside to the Bloody Sunday Memorial, from the murals of the People's Gallery to the contemporary music scene.
Derry as an iconic city: memory, resistance and cultural rebirth.
Music and identity
Music is a central part of the journey. Folk tradition, alternative culture, songs born during the conflict, and the role of music in building collective identity.
