...Gerry Adams!

There was a launch of the Hungerstrike commerorations at the Europa Hotel where Gerry Adams was the main speaker. So we HAD to be there ofcourse!!!;) And we were! We just entered the hotel and the conference room with no problem and Gerry was soon hanging around there with everyone else! It wasn't such a big happening as one might imagine but the small conference hall was soon packed. There were speeches made by some ex-prisiners and some family members of the hungerstrikers. It was a pretty short event, so the speeches were thankfully not soo long and draggy. So basically it was just a nice opportunity to have been there and to have seen Gerry Adams too (not that that's soo relevant for my research...but still u know;)
'That's him...chilling out!;)'

This afternoon I had a meeting with a lady carrying out research on community arts in Northern Ireland which was real handy, recieving many tips for orgs and literature etc. I still have a lot to catch up on!
Went to a fashionshow at a community centre in East Belfast (where i hadn't been yet). It was a rounding up of a past project (trash Fashion) for young girls which was interesting to have seen. Plus an opportunity to be in a community centre and check it out.
