Revisiting: The ring of steel

Curated By: Kate Catterall
Directed By: Paula McFetridge 
Production Premiere:  27th October 2022

Memories of the city centre security cordon and regular civilian searches are one of the few universally shared experiences of life in Belfast during the seventies and eighties. 

Tour the site of the former Ring of Steel animated with memories collected from over one-thousand of Belfast’s citizens.

The scars of a military structure used in civic circumstances are embedded in the physical and emotional fabric of our city.

Revisiting The Ring of Steel explores both the traces of the barricades still hidden in plain sight, and the intangible legacy of the security cordon’s impact on our collective history.
