In Belfast Imaginary: Art and Urban Reinvention, Katherine Keenan argues for the reimagining of place in Belfast, Northern Ireland in the context of Brexit. This deeply researched ethnography depicts the work of artists and policy makers as they imagine and perform a new urban identity for Belfast in the liminal time between the Good Friday Agreement and Brexit.
Katharine Keenan is director of Foundation and Corporate Relations at Carthage College.
Chapter 1: In Medias Res Chapter 2: Third Way Art - Policy and Process Chapter 3: The Painting on the Wall Chapter 4: Performing Diversity Chapter 5: Stopping in the Street Conclusion: Belfast in the Meantime
The Belfast Imaginary provides a timely and important review of how artists, in concert with public officials, have pioneered what she calls 'third way art' in the imagining and construction of a New Belfast. Keenan shows that we can all take heart that a city, so torn by decades of violent conflict, and after years of post-conflict liminality can still imagine itself as a space of creativity and peace. The Belfast Imaginary may very well serve as a blueprint of similar imaginings in places geographically distant but close in spirit to this rapidly evolving global city. -- Thomas M. Wilson, Binghamton University and State University of New York
